Abstract
We present an electrochemical metabolic monitoring system, which is combined with a spheroid 3D tumor cell culture environment. It allows the continuous and precise monitoring of lactate production rates of single human hepatocyte spheroids online over days. Lactate concentration was measured using an electrochemical microsensor enabling the real-time monitoring of metabolic rates in combination with drug exposure. This setup can be used for drug testing as a powerful tool for fundamental research in general biology and toxicology.
