| immobilised cell bioreactors | Bioreactors in which the cells grown are immobilised onto some sort of support material. (14 Nov 1997) |
|---|---|
| immobilised cell biosensor | Biosensors that use living cells as an essential part of their detector system. The immobilised cell does the sensing and produces a very weak signal of some sort, which is detected and amplified into a signal the user can read. (14 Nov 1997) |
| immobilised enzyme | <biochemistry> An enzyme attached to a solid support over which substrate is passed and is converted into product. (09 Oct 1997) |
| cells, immobilised | Microbial, plant, or animal cells which are immobilised by attachment to solid structures, usually a column matrix. A common use of immobilised cells is in biotechnology for the bioconversion of a substrate to a particular product. (12 Dec 1998) |
|---|---|
| co-immobilised enzyme | <biochemistry> A group of enzymes which work together and are physically confined while doing so. (09 Oct 1997) |
| enzymes, immobilised | Enzymes which are immobilised on or in a variety of water-soluble or water-insoluble matrices with little or no loss of their catalytic activity. Since they can be reused continuously, immobilised enzymes have found wide application in the industrial, medical and research fields. (12 Dec 1998) |
