Zusammenfassung: | Wearable sweat sensors have achieved rapid development since they hold great potential in personalized health monitoring. However, a typical difficulty in practical processes is the control of working conditions for biorecognition elements, e.g., pH level and ionic strength in sweat may decrease the affinity between analytes and recognition elements. Here, we developed a wearable sensing device for cortisol detection in sweat using an aptamer as the recognition element. The device integrated functions of sweat collection, reagent prestorage, and signal conversion. Especially, the components of prestored reagents were optimized according to the inherent characteristics of sweat samples and electrodes, which allowed us to keep optimal conditions for aptamers. The sweat samples were transferred from the inlet of the device to the reagent prestored chamber, and the dry preserved reagents were rehydrated with sweat and then arrived at the aptamer-modified electrodes. Sweat samples of volunteers were analyzed by the wearable sensing device, and the results showed a good correlation with those of the ELISA kit. We believe that this convenient and reliable wearable sensing device has significant potential in self-health monitoring. |
