Project description

Maintaining consistent productivity and product quality is crucial in the fermentation-based industry. Key bioprocess variables (substrates, metabolites, products) directly impact product yield, quality, and economic efficiency. Current real-time monitoring solutions for these variables are often complex or unreliable. Our solution is a customizable smart multisensory platform using innovative (patent pending) electrochemical components to measure multiple analytes (currently glucose, lactate, and ammonium). Our prototype has proven to be highly sensitive, selective, and stable. During the Spark program, we aim to enhance the sensor's robustness and stability, transitioning our prototype from lab to market.
