- This paper represents the first time the heat transfer method has been applied to real time sensing of microbial growth, and it is a point of reference in the field. It is a truly international publication, with authors spanning three institutions and three countries. This publication details the novel application of an emerging low-cost sensor technology to the real time detection of microbial growth. The research carried out to evaluate the heat transfer technique for this application was robust and appropriate, with the generation of a substantial dataset characterising the growth of microbial organisms using this novel technique.
