The invention relates to a real-time monitoring method for
cell metabolites, and belongs to the technical field of biosensing and
cell analysis. The method comprises the following steps: culturing cells on a substrate integrated with a first (electrochemical) type (optical) sensing unit and a second (optical) type (electrochemical) sensing unit which are arranged in a coplanar and staggered manner; in the monitoring process, electric signals of all the first-class sensing units and optical images of all the second-class sensing units are synchronously collected through hardware
time sequence control, and timestamps and position information are recorded; performing fusion
processing on the signals in the same period, namely generating a first
spatial distribution data frame according to the position information combination
electric signal, converting the
optical image to generate a second
spatial distribution data frame, and aligning the first
spatial distribution data frame and the second spatial distribution data frame according to a pre-calibrated
spatial mapping relation; and finally, based on the aligned data frame pairs on the
time sequence, generating dynamic association information reflecting the time-space collaborative change of the concentrations of the at least two metabolites. According to the method, multi-parameter and high-temporal-spatial-resolution in-situ real-time monitoring and visual analysis of the
metabolic activity of the living cells are realized.
