PCL/PEO Polymer Membrane Prevents Biofouling in Wearable Detection Sensors.

ABSTRACT: Technological advances in biosensing offer extraordinary opportunities to transfer technologies from a laboratory setting to clinical point-of-care applications. Recent developments in the field have focused on electrochemical and optical biosensing platforms. Unfortunately, these platforms offer relatively poor sensitivity for most of the clinically relevant targets that can be measured on the skin. In addition, the non-specific adsorption of biomolecules (biofouling) has proven to be a limiting factor compromising the longevity and performance of these detection systems. Research from our laboratory seeks to capitalize on analyte selective properties of biomaterials to achieve enhanced analyte adsorption, enrichment, and detection. Our goal is to develop a functional membrane integrated
