Cell Culture Monitoring Biosensor Market
Cell culture is an important tool in molecular biology. Biosensors are used for monitoring several parameters (including cell growth, cell density, contamination, and others) and cellular behavior of cell culture. There are several types of biosensors such as electrical biosensors, thermal biosensors, fiber optic biosensors, and others that are used in monitoring changes during the cell culture process.
Cell cultures are increasingly becoming important for scientists and biologists to study about physiology and biochemistry of cells. Therefore, cell culture monitoring is very essential for the continuous characterization of cultured cells, in order to have a better understanding about cell line’s growth and metabolism properties. Cell culture is a process, in which cells are grown under controlled conditions, outside their natural environment. Biosensors are used for monitoring cell culture, which keeps complete track of cell culture’s performance, cell growth, and culture contamination.
Biosensors play an important role in cell culture monitoring to detect various activities occurring during the process of cell culture such as temperature change, release of desired metabolites, toxic substance and cell growth, and increase in cell density. All these parameters contribute to maintaining quality of cell culture and ensuring its reproducibility, credibility, and acceptance, for proper application in industry.
Market Dynamics
Increasing product launches by manufacturers of biosensors used for cell culture monitoring is expected to boost the global cell culture monitoring biosensors market growth over the forecast period. Manufacturers are focused on developing and launching technologically advanced sensors to make cell culturing more convenient for research laboratories and pharmaceutical organizations, which is expected to drive the global cell culture monitoring biosensors market growth over the forecast period. For instance, in August 2018, C-CIT Sensors AG launched CITSens MeMo, an electrochemical enzyme-based sensor to monitor glucose and lactate in in situ cell cultures. Moreover, in September 2018, C-CIT Sensors AG showcased the ‘CITSens MeMo’ at the Bioprocess International Conference & Exhibition at the Hynes Convention Center, located in Boston, U.S.
The companies are focusing on expanding their product offerings by launching new products used in cell culture monitoring. For instance, in August 2015, Lifeonics launched miniaturized device ‘SMOD’ for non-intervention monitoring of cell culture fermentation, suited for laboratory use. The device is enabled with Bluetooth connectivity and offers remote monitoring of the cell cultures pertaining to temperature changes and cell density details.
Furthermore, increasing trend of using biosensors for cell culture monitoring in 2D and 3D cell culture models is expected to drive the global cell culture monitoring biosensors market growth. For instance, according to the ‘News Medical Life-sciences’, in 2017, researchers were inclined towards developing culture models that can be used in early treatment of age-related macular degeneration (AMD). AMD is the third-major cause for total vision loss and is more prevalent among the geriatric population.
