Flow injection analysis and biosensors: applications for biotechnology and environmental control.

Our experience in industrial bioprocess monitoring and environmental control let us develop a concept for biosensor research which distinguishes itself from other, more popular, approaches. Biosensors must improve and/or simplify existing state-of-the-art analysis systems. Only the parallel development of biosensors and their complementary metrology leads to industrially sound solutions. The combination of flow injection analysis with immobilized enzymes in the form of enzyme columns is already used today for the solution of on-line analytical problems in bioprocesses and environmental control.
