Background:

Accurate glucose monitoring is crucial for diabetes management.
Existing methods can be expensive or complex.
Need for accessible, low-cost diagnostic tools.

Purpose of the Study:

To develop and validate a novel microfluidic thread/paper-based analytical device (μTPAD) for glucose detection.
To establish a colorimetric assay for quantifying glucose concentrations.
To assess the device's performance in artificial urine samples.

Main Methods:

Fabrication of a μTPAD using nylon thread and chromatography paper.
Utilizing a colorimetric reaction involving glucose oxidase, horseradish peroxidase, and potassium iodide.
Quantification of glucose via color intensity analysis using image scanning.

Main Results:

The μTPAD successfully detected glucose through a colorimetric assay, producing a yellow-brown color.
A strong correlation was observed between color intensity and glucose concentration.
The device demonstrated good correlation when used to quantify glucose in artificial urine.

Conclusions:

The developed μTPAD is a viable, low-cost platform for glucose detection.
The colorimetric assay provides a simple and effective method for glucose quantification.
The μTPAD shows potential for point-of-care diagnostic applications.
