Microneedle-Based Potentiometric Sensing System for Continuous Monitoring of Multiple Electrolytes in Skin Interstitial Fluids

ACS Sensors, Journal Year: 2021, Volume and Issue: 6(6), P. 2181 - 2190

Published: May 26, 2021

Electrolytes play a pivotal role in regulating cardiovascular functions, hydration, and muscle activation. The current standards for monitoring electrolytes involve periodic sampling of blood measurements using laboratory techniques, which are often uncomfortable/inconvenient to the subjects add considerable expense management their underlying disease conditions. wide range skin interstitial fluids (ISFs) correlations with those plasma create exciting opportunities applications such as electrolyte circadian metabolism monitoring. However, it has been challenging monitor these ISFs. In this study, we report minimally invasive microneedle-based potentiometric sensing system multiplexed continuous Na+ K+ consists miniaturized stainless-steel hollow microneedle prevent sensor delamination set modified electrodes multiplex We demonstrate measurement artificial ISFs fast response time, excellent reversibility repeatability, adequate selectivity, negligible potential interferences upon addition physiologically relevant concentration metabolites, dietary biomarkers, nutrients. addition, maintains sensitivity after multiple insertions into chicken model.

Lattice Proton Intercalation to Regulate WO₃‐Based Solid‐Contact Wearable pH Sensor for Sweat Analysis

Advanced Functional Materials, Journal Year: 2021, Volume and Issue: 32(4)

Published: Oct. 8, 2021

Abstract Sweat pH monitoring is a routine indicator in wearable biotechnology. The state‐of‐the‐art sensors mostly rely on organic materials but face the risk of biological toxicity. WO 3 typical H + ‐sensitive inorganic material with chemical stability, biocompatibility, and low cost sensitivity slow response. Lattice intercalation herein proposed as an efficient approach that can greatly improve selectivity ‐based sensors. Specifically, lattice promote from monoclinic phase to cubic phase, which enhances ion exchange capacity between . resistance decreases more than two orders magnitudes, improves interfacial charge transport. occupancy leads only , thus increasing recognition. intercalated x exhibits much improved sensitivity, reversibility, response time. Additionally, integrated solid reference electrode miniaturized chip for sweat monitoring. sensor good potential even at curving over 270°. On‐body measurments show high accuracy compared ex situ analyses. This work emphasizes concept proton regulate recognition contacts.
