Sensor strategies for microorganism detection--from physical principles to imprinting procedures

Anal Bioanal Chem. 2003 Oct;377(3):540-9. doi: 10.1007/s00216-003-2060-5. Epub 2003 Aug 12.

Abstract

Detecting cells and microorganisms in different matrices is becoming an increasingly important task in a variety of fields including bioprocess control, food technology, health care, and environmental analysis. In this review, fast on-line detection methods for this purpose are presented including different recognition and transducer strategies.
