SOME ADVANTAGES OF CELL-BASED BIOSENSORS: Isolation, purification, and immobilization of enzymes are often very difficult; these can be omitted with cell-based biosensors. Some enzymes can lose their activity during isolation or immobilization; this risk is eliminated by the use of whole cells. Enzymes in the cell's natural environment are usually extremely stable. Multi-step enzyme reactions... Read more
