Abstract
Biocalorimetry measures the metabolically released heat. Heat is directly correlated with the metabolic fluxes and reflects their changes in real time. Today, it is measureable non-invasively with an extreme sensitivity. Insofar, calorimetry provides the basics for an ideal sensor for biotechnology.
