Biosensor allows real-time oxygen monitoring for “organs on a chip”

A new biosensor allows researchers to track oxygen levels in real time in “organ-on-a-chip” systems, making it possible to ensure that such systems more closely mimic the functions of real organs. This is essential if organs on a chip are to achieve their potential in applications such as drug and toxicity testing.
