Bioprocessing and Biomedical Instrumentation – Miniaturization and Cost Reduction
Bioinstrumentation targets measurement of concentrations of variety of parameters, from bioprocessing parameters like pH, dissolved oxygen, etc., to measurements of measurements of prion concentrations, antibodies, antigens, allergens, etc. One of the most versatile approaches to the task is to use light as a probing method. Light-matter interaction is one of the fundamental physical interactions, and therefore it is used in numerous scenarios. With the advent of semiconductor light sources and photodetectors, it became possible to shrink the standard instrumentation to wearable, low cost formats. A number of examples regarding such instrumentation are given.
