A nano-integrated microfluidic biochip for enzyme-based point-of-care detection of creatinine

Chem Commun (Camb). 2021 May 11;57(38):4726-4729. doi: 10.1039/d1cc00825k.

Abstract

A nano-integrated portable enzymatic microfluidic electrochemical biochip was developed for single-step point-of-care testing of creatinine. The biochip could automatically eliminate a lot of interferences from practical biological samples and enzymatic intermediate products. Gold nanostructure- and carbon nanotube-based screen-printed carbon electrodes were integrated into microfluidic structures to improve the detection performance for creatinine. The microfluidic electrochemical biochip holds promise to become a practical device for medical diagnosis, especially POCT.
