Article Synopsis
- Contact lenses equipped with electro-chemical sensors provide a non-invasive way to monitor blood biomarkers, but their rigid components cause discomfort and inaccuracies in readings.
- A new flexible, paper-based contact lens design allows for colorimetric glucose analysis, utilizing a 3D printing method that simplifies production and reduces reliance on cleanroom technology.
- The innovative microfluidic system in the lens can detect glucose concentrations as low as 2 mM within 10 seconds, demonstrating effective glucose monitoring for diabetic patients.
Microneedle arrays are patches of needles at micro- and nano-scale, which are competent and versatile technologies that have been merged with microfluidic systems to construct more capable devices for biomedical applications, such as drug delivery, wound healing, biosensing, and sampling body fluids. In this paper, several designs and applications are reviewed. In addition, modeling approaches used in microneedle designs for fluid flow and mass transfer are discussed, and the challenges are highlighted.
View Article and Find Full Text PDFThe field of microfluidics has been struggling to obtain widespread market penetration. In order to overcome this struggle, a standardized and modular platform is introduced and applied. By providing easy-to-fabricate modular building blocks which are compatible with mass manufacturing, we decrease the gap from lab-to-fab.
