Sumario:We proposed a specially designed sequential injection (SI) amperometric system coupling with a bioreactor for in-line glucose monitoring in cell culture. The system is composed of three main parts which are the bioreactor, SI system, and electrochemical detection unit. The bioreactor accommodates six individual cell culture units which can be operated separately under different conditions. The SI system enables automatic in-line sampling and in-line sample dilution, with a specially designed mixing unit; therefore, it has the benefits of fast analysis time and less contamination risk. The use of 3D-printed microfluidic components, a mixing channel, and a flow cell helped to reduce operational time and sample volume. A disposable screen-printed electrode (SPE), modified with glucose oxidase (GOD), carbon nanotube, and gold nanoparticle, was used for detection. The developed system provided a linear range up to 3.8 mM glucose in cell culture media. In order to work with cell culture in higher glucose media, the in-line sample dilution can be applied. The developed SI system was demonstrated with mouse fibroblast (L929) cell culture. The results show that glucose concentration obtained from the SI system is comparable with that obtained from the conventional colorimetric method. This work can be further developed and applied for in vitro cell-based experiments in biomedical research.
