Biomimetic recognition elements for sensor applications

  • Chapter
  • First Online:
Frontiers in Biosensorics I

Part of the book series: Experientia Supplementum ((EXS,volume 80))

Summary

Ethanol and other alcohols with low molecular mass, glucose and creatinine are the analytes and/or substrates which have to be most frequently determined to obtain analytical informations in a variety of different process. The extensive literature on the development of biosensors is indicative of the interest in these sensors. In addition to enzyme-coupled recognition in biosensors, chemical host-guest interactions based on synthetic hosts are currently being investigated. Such a research project has applied an optical ethanol sensor to monitor ethanol generation in a bioreactor continuously. In this chapter, some examples of the state-of-the-art and recent results of these research projects are presented. Difficulties encountered in coupling a transducer to the synthetic host-guest recognition process, and in two-phase systems are described.
