Abstract

This work introduces, for the first time, simultaneous monitoring of fluorescence and absorbance using Bead Injection in a Lab-on-valve format. The aim of the paper is to show that when the target species, cells immobilized on a stationary phase, are exposed to reagents under well-controlled reaction conditions, dual monitoring yields valuable information. The applicability of this technique is demonstrated by the development of a Bead Injection method for automated measurement of cell density and intracellular hydrogen peroxide.
