PHAIR: a biosensor for pH measurement in air–liquid interface cell culture
Abstract In many biological systems, pH can be used as a parameter to understand and study cell dynamics. However, measuring pH in live cell culture is limited by the sensor ion specificity, proximity to the cell surface, and scalability. Commercially available pH sensors are difficult to integrate...

Tungsten micro-wires were used as the working electrodes, and silver micro-wires with a silver/silver chloride coating were used as a pseudo reference electrode. pH sensitivity, in a wide and narrow range, and stability of these sensors were tested in common standard buffer solutions as well as in culture media of human airway epithelial cells grown at the air–liquid interface in a 24 well cell culture plate. When measuring the pH of cells grown under basal and challenge conditions using PHAIR, cell viability and cytokine responses were not affected.
