SETT ATT OVERVAKA EN MIKROBIOLOGISK PROCESS

摘要

A method for monitoring a microbiological process wherein a substance is consumed or formed, the quantity of this substance being measured continuously or intermittently as a measure of the progress of state of the process through transferring a liquid sample from the medium (2) which is the object of the process to a point of analysis (18) at a distance from the actual location of the process. The method is characterized in that the said liquid sample is mixed with an inhibitor (7) near the point of sampling so as to prevent the process from progressing also during the transport from the point of sampling (4) to the point of analysis (18). Preferably the method is intended to be applied in a fermentation process to the measurement of the glucose formed by using the enzyme glucosoxidase.
