Abstract: The flexible and modular setup of an intelligent mobile lab (IMOLA) that can be equipped with biosensor chips for monitoring of cellular metabolism is described. An application as an environmental monitoring system is described by recording the extracelluar acidification and cellular respiration of Chlorella kessleri after exposure to the herbicide metamitron. The adaptability of the IMOLA system to future developments in the field of biosensors or cellular metabolism analysis is emphasized. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]
