Abstract [en]

Microneedle sensor technology offers exciting opportunities for decentralized clinical analyses. A novel issue puts forward herein is to demonstrate the uniqueness of membrane-based microneedles to accomplish real-time, on-body monitoring of multiple ions simultaneously. The use of multi-ion detection is clinically relevant since it is expected to provide a more complete and reliable assessment of the clinical status of a subject concerning electrolyte disorders and others. We present a microneedle system for transdermal multiplexed tracing of pH, Na+, K+, Ca2+, Li+, and Cl-. The device consists of an array of seven solid microneedles externally modified to provide six indicator electrodes, each selective for a different ion, and a common reference electrode, all integrated into a wearable patch read in a potentiometric mode. We show in vitro measurements at the expected clinical levels, resulting in a fast response time, excellent reversibility and repeatability, and adequate selectivity. Close-to-Nernstian sensitivity, sufficient stability and resiliency to skin penetration guarantee the sensor's success in transdermal measurements, which we demonstrate through ex vivo (with pieces of rat skin) and in vivo (on-body measurements in rats) tests. Accuracy is evaluated by comparison with gold standard techniques to characterize collected dermal fluid, blood, and serum. In the past, interstitial fluid (ISF) analysis has been challenging due to difficult sample collection and analysis. For ions, this has resulted in extrapolations from blood concentrations (invasive tests) rather than pure measurements in ISF. The developed microneedle patch is a relevant analytical tool to address this information gap.
