“…We used biosensor technology for assays. Recently, nanoliter-sized sensors have been described that are compatible with the here described collection device. − The device mayalso be useful for monitoring of other low molecular weight hydrophilic analytes, such as electrolytes, drugs, or their metabolites. Possible compatible analytic techniques are flow-injection analysis, flame-photometry, GC/MS, capillary zone electrophoresis, and fluorescence. ,− Finally, the device may also be applied to collect (sterile) samples in vitro for example, from cell cultures and industrial bioreactors.…”
