Equipments Used to Measure Body Temperature

1.4K
Body temperature can be assessed using various devices and measured in Celsius or Fahrenheit.
Glass-bulb Thermometer:
Glass-bulb thermometers are hollow glass tubes with a bulb tip containing liquid such as ethanol or mercury. Historically, glass bulb mercury thermometers were the standard device to measure body temperature. Today, mercury thermometers are prohibited in many countries due to the hazardous effects of mercury and the risk of exposure if the glass bulb breaks. In general,...

Area of Science:

  • Biomedical Engineering
  • Analytical Chemistry
  • Materials Science

Background:

  • Wearable lactate sensors are crucial for sports and healthcare, but existing electrochemical methods struggle with sweat's high lactate levels and pH/temperature variations.
  • Current biosensors often have limited linear ranges and are susceptible to environmental factors, hindering reliable sweat lactate monitoring.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To develop a novel wearable lactate biosensor with an expanded detection range and reduced susceptibility to pH and temperature fluctuations.
  • To create a stable and accurate platform for on-body sweat lactate analysis for both athletic performance and clinical diagnostics.

Main Methods:

  • A new biosensor design restricts lactate flux to the immobilized enzyme using a specialized polymeric layer (ETH500).
  • This layer shields the enzyme from direct sample contact, mitigating pH and temperature influences.
  • Performance was validated against ion chromatography using sweat samples from athletes and through on-body tests.

Main Results:

  • The biosensor demonstrated a millimolar detection range (1-50 mM) with high accuracy (Pearson coefficient 0.97) compared to ion chromatography.
  • Key performance metrics including response time, repeatability, reproducibility, selectivity, and stability were found to be excellent.
  • On-body tests on different body locations and iontophoretic sweat stimulation confirmed the biosensor's practical applicability.

Conclusions:

  • The developed lactate biosensor offers a significant advancement for wearable sweat analysis, addressing key limitations of prior technologies.
  • Its robust performance and suitability for on-body monitoring position it as a valuable tool for sports science and healthcare.
  • The microfluidic epidermal patch integrates lactate, pH, and temperature sensing for comprehensive physiological monitoring.
