At ZP, we believe that the future of tissue engineering/cell culture is the measurement and ultimately the control of the cells’ environment, including: pH, glucose, oxygen, lactate, and other analytes.

The measurement of a cells environment can be achieved through biosensors. In this note we discuss biosensors for cell culture type experiments.

Biosensors can offer:

• Quantitative data- the concentration of analytes.

• Longitudinal data – how concentration changes as a function of time.

• Spatial data – An array of sensor, or sensors placed within flows can give the spatial resolution of how an analyte such as pH changes both temporally and spatial.
