Abstract:
Point-of-care testing (POCT) is a contemporary diagnostic approach characterized by its user-friendly nature, cost efficiency, environmental compatibility, and lack of reliance on professional experts. Therefore, it is widely used in clinical diagnosis and other analytical testing fields to meet the demand for rapid and convenient testing. The application of POCT technology not only improves testing efficiency, but also brings convenience and benefits to the healthcare industry. The personal glucose meter (PGM) is a highly successful commercial POCT tool that has been widely used not only for glucose analysis, but also for non-glucose target detection. In this review, the recent advances from 2020 to 2024 in non-glucose target analysis for PGMs as POCT devices are summarized. The signal transduction strategies for non-glucose target analysis based on PGMs, including enzymatic transduction, nanocarrier transduction (enzyme or glucose), and glucose consumption transduction are briefly introduced. Meanwhile, the applications of PGMs in non-glucose target analysis are outlined, encompassing biomedical, environmental, and food analysis, along with other diverse applications. Finally, the prospects of and obstacles to employing PGMs as POCT tools for non-glucose target analysis are discussed.
