Biotechnological processes can be found in food, drink and
pharmaceutical industries, waste processing or environmental protection
and they need affordable and rapid sensing techniques. MATINOES is aimed
in the development of novel enzyme based fibre optic sensors for
applications in biotechnological production processes to cover the lack
of sensors suitable for in-situ, continuous monitoring of reactants
under harsh reaction conditions. The partnership has 9 partners from 5
different countries. It contains internationally recognised specialists
in: inorganic-organic coating materials, enzyme preparation, enzymatic
reactions, design and preparation of optical fibres, and sensor design.
The project also involves SMEs involved in the design and supply of
biochemical plants and instrumentation, and the manufacture of
fibre-optic instrumentation.
