Scale‐Down Platforms for Process‐Oriented Enzyme Screening Using Microfluidics
Biotechnology and Bioengineering, EarlyView.ABSTRACT Enzyme screening platforms are typically evaluated based on their throughput and analytical performance rather than their ability to mimic the conditions encountered at large scale. In bioreactors, enzymes experience gradients in substrate concentration, oxygen availability, pH, temperature, and interfacial exposure, caused by imperfect mixing
