Researchers from State University in Campinas, Brazil, have developed disposable (bio)sensors on wooden tongue depressors for decentralized self-testing of salivary biomarkers for personalized medicine. These sensors combine electrochemical and colorimetric technologies to detect glucose, uric acid, nitrite, and thiocyanate in saliva within 5 minutes. The method showed excellent concordance with traditional spectrophotometric methods and was deemed safe for use through toxicity and biocompatibility studies. This innovative tongue depressor (bio)sensor has the potential to revolutionize personalized medicine by enabling frequent testing of multiple biomarkers. [Extracted from the article] |
