Characteristics and application value of online glucose/lactic acid sensors
2024-08-01

Real-time monitoring of glucose and lactic acid is of great significance in the fields of biopharmaceuticals, food industry, and environmental monitoring. As a new detection technology, online glucose/lactic acid sensor plays an important role in many fields with its unique advantages. In this paper, the working principle, characteristics and application value of online glucose/lactic acid sensor will be elaborated in detail.



Working Principle of On-line Glucose/Lactic Acid Sensor

The on-line glucose/lactate sensor is based on enzyme electrochemistry, whereby an immobilized enzyme reacts specifically with the glucose and lactate molecules to produce a current signal. The sensor converts the current signal into concentration information to realize real-time monitoring of glucose and lactate. Its main components include enzyme membrane, electrode, signal processor, etc.


Characteristics of on-line glucose/lactic acid sensors

1. real-time

Online glucose/lactate sensors are able to monitor changes in glucose and lactate concentrations in real time, with data generated at a high frequency, typically 20 seconds/time. This allows researchers to quickly understand the changes in the system under test, providing timely guidance for subsequent operations.


2. Accuracy

The sensors utilize enzyme electrochemistry, which is highly specific and capable of accurately recognize glucose and lactate molecules. Meanwhile, by optimizing the sensor structure design and signal processing algorithm, the system error was reduced and the detection accuracy was improved.


3. Non-destructive testing

The online glucose/lactic acid sensor does not require sampling, and is inserted directly into the system under test for testing, avoiding sample contamination and loss that may result from the sampling process. In addition, non-destructive testing helps to reduce the number of operational steps and improve testing efficiency.


4. Stability

The sensor adopts the immobilized enzyme technology, which effectively improves the enzyme stability and service life. At the same time, the sensor has good anti-interference ability, and can work stably in a complex environment.


5. Ease of use

Operation of the on-line glucose/lactate sensor is simple and can be done without specialized personnel. Simple to install and maintain without specialized personnel. In addition, the sensor can be connected to external devices (e.g., smart phones, computers, etc.) via wireless communication technology, making it easy for users to view data in real time.


6. Integration

The sensor can be integrated with other devices (e.g. OPC) as required. demand and integrate with other devices (such as OPC server, control system, etc.) to realize automation and intelligent monitoring and control.
