Abstract

Surface imprinted polymers and sol-gel films are prepared in a single step on mass-sensitive devices using living microorganisms as templates. The chemical sensors allow highly sensitive online monitoring of yeasts with a dynamic range from at least 104 to 109 cells/ml. For yeast strains stemming from the same genera the selectivity of the artificial cell receptors is presented. Single cell detection in liquid stream conditions with shear transverse wave resonators is introduced for the first time.
