Abstract

The growing demand of miniaturization of cell cultivation new approaches towards measuring and sensing bio-analytes need to be addressed to overcome the challenge of small volumes (less than 150μl) containing small amounts of analytes. Most of the available glucose sensors monitor the glucose concentration with the help of enzymes, which become very unstable in terms of long time measurement and consume glucose during the measurement becoming not available anymore for the cells. Therefore, the focus was set on applying an enzyme-free glucose sensor based on a microelectromechanical system (MEMS).
