Cloth-based microfluidic devices integrated onto the patch as wearable colorimetric sensors for simultaneous sweat analysis.

ABSTRACT:

Introduction

In this work, a flexible, and wearable point-of-care (POC) device integrated on a pain relief patch as wearable colorimetric sensors have been developed for sweat analysis, such as lactic acid, sodium ions, and pH simultaneously. Herein, the patch has still functioned as pain relief, while it allows for sweat monitoring during exercise, and in daily activities.

Methods

It was constructed on cotton cloth using wax printing technology (batik stamp) as cloth-based microfluidic devices (CMDs). Here, it uses micro volumes of samples to perform the reaction in the sensing zones, where the sensitive reagents are immobilized so that it can collect and analyze the sweat (lactic acid, sodium ions, and pH) as the model for sweat analytes. The colorimetric analysis was cond
