传感器类型
微流控生物传感器
检测对象
葡萄糖(glucose)、乙醇(ethanol)、酵母细胞密度(cell density)、溶解氧分压(pO2);样品基质为酿酒酵母发酵液/培养液(Saccharomyces cerevisiae fermentation broth)
检测原理
双电化学生物传感器中,PyOx 催化葡萄糖氧化为 2-脱氢-D-葡萄糖,AOx 催化乙醇氧化为乙醛,两个反应均消耗溶解氧。在 -0.7 V vs Ag/AgCl 下,金电极监测氧还原电流变化;底物浓度越高,酶促氧消耗越强,电流变化越大,从而在 0.025–0.5 mM 内线性响应。采用负电位检测避免了 H2O2 在正电位下的扩散串扰,PAMAM 树状分子多分支共价固定提高酶稳定性。辅助通道中,光纤 pO2 传感器利用荧光猝灭/相移法将氧浓度转换为相移信号;原位显微镜以透射亮场成像,Canny 边缘检测识别细胞轮廓并计数,细胞密度与计数呈线性。FA 系统自动稀释 300 倍,使发酵液葡萄糖进入线性范围。
检测灵敏度
线性范围: 0.025–0.5 mM(乙醇和葡萄糖)
效应效果
双传感器混合标准无干扰,葡萄糖回收率 97.73–99.42%,乙醇 90.46–102.69%。0.5 mM 重复进样 RSD:葡萄糖 0.87%(n=5),乙醇 4.51%(n=5)。连续 11 h、85 次测量后,葡萄糖信号保持 98%,乙醇 94.1%,摘要称损失 6.0% 初始活性。1.0 mM H2O2 不干扰,>1.0 mM 反向;葡萄糖 >0.5 mM 时乙醇电极轻微串扰,经 FA 300 倍稀释消除。ISM 与 Neubauer 计数强线性相关,可校准测细胞密度;pO2 13 h 由 90% 降至 15% 且无漂白。系统用于酿酒酵母 H620 发酵 13 h 旁线监测,无需额外采样或 HPLC/比色离线方法。

英文摘要
A multi-analyte sensing device is described, for simultaneous at-line monitoring of glucose, ethanol, pO₂-value and cell density. It consists of a dual biosensor, a modified microscope and a fiber optical pO₂-sensor that are integrated into a flow analysis (FA) system. The biosensor is based on a conventional thin layer flow-through cell equipped with a gold (Au) dual electrode (serial configuration). The biosensors with no cross-talking were produced by modifying the electrochemical transducers. Each Au surface was initially modified by self-assembled monolayer (SAM) of cysteamine. Alcohol oxidase (AOx) and pyranose oxidase (PyOx) were immobilized each onto a gold surface by means of PAMAM (polyamidoamine) dendrimer via glutaraldehyde cross-linking. The responses for glucose and ethanol were linear up to 0.5 mM. The operational stability of the biosensors was very promising, after 11 h continuous operation, only 6.0% of the initial activity was lost. The potential of the described biosensor was demonstrated by parallel determination of ethanol and glucose in yeast fermentation process. Simultaneously the cell density of the culture was monitored with an in situ microscope (ISM), which was integrated into the FA system. Both the used in situ microscope and the image processing algorithm used for the analysis of the acquired image data are described. Furthermore the pO₂-value was monitored using a fiber optical sensor, which was embedded in a flow cell. The multi-sensor device allows the at-line monitoring of several process values without the need for further sampling or time consuming offline measurements.
