Glucose and oxygen are important components of human metabolic processes -- many diseases are associated with glucose transport and metabolic disorders including diabetes and cancer. Monitoring glucose and cell metabolism can provide invaluable information for understanding these diseases. There are many assays and sensors for both glucose and oxygen,...

The efficiency of biofuel production depends on the photosynthetic activity of microbes; to maximize their growth it is necessary to continually monitor the environmental conditions. Traditional monitoring methods (such as using electrodes to measure CO2 consumption and/or O2 generation) are typically time- and labor-intensive, have low throughput,...

Because of their unique recombinant properties, fusion proteins are of intense interest in many biotechnology applications. Current methods to specifically detect expression of fusion proteins exist; but, they are either unsuitable for high throughput (HTP) processes, in the case of western blots, or are non-qualitative, in the case of ELISAs. Assessment...
