A novel microfluidic biosensor array enables precise, continuous measurement of hydrogen, potassium, and calcium ions. This all-solid-state device utilizes advanced microfabrication for critical physiological monitoring.

Area of Science:

  • Biomedical Engineering
  • Analytical Chemistry
  • Materials Science

Background:

  • Accurate physiological ion monitoring is crucial for health diagnostics.
  • Existing methods for ion measurement can be complex and time-consuming.
  • Microfluidic devices offer miniaturization and potential for point-of-care applications.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To develop and characterize a microfluidic device with an integrated all-solid-state potentiometric biosensor array.
  • To enable continuous and convenient measurement of key physiological ions: hydrogen (pH), potassium (K+), and calcium (Ca2+).

Main Methods:

  • Microfabrication techniques were employed to create the device and sensor array.
  • An iridium oxide thin film modified platinum microelectrode served as the pH indicator.

  • Potassium and calcium ion-selective electrodes were fabricated using silicon rubber-based membranes with specific ionophores (valinomycin and ETH 1001).
  • A micro-pneumatic pump integrated for continuous fluid control through the sensor array.

    • Main Results:

    • The biosensor array demonstrated near-Nernstian responses for pH, potassium, and calcium ions.
    • Linear responses were observed across relevant physiological ranges: pH 2-10 and ion concentrations from 0.1 M to 10(-6) M.
    • The device achieved stable fluid flow rates between 7.67 and 52.4 microliters per minute.

    Conclusions:

    • The developed microfluidic biosensor array provides a convenient and effective platform for measuring critical physiological ion concentrations.
    • This technology holds promise for advancing real-time physiological monitoring and diagnostics.
