Abstract

In this study, a hydrogel microneedle (HMN) biosensor functionalized with fluorescence labeled aptamer probes is developed for detecting biomarkers in skin interstitial fluid (ISF). A novel and rapid assay for attaching the single stranded aptamer probes to hydrogel matrix is integrated. Our HMN biosensor enables reagent-less and on-needle target detection with high sensitivity and specificity. Here we demonstrate the applications of this new biosensor for ex vitro adenosine triphosphate (ATP) and glucose detection using a skin-mimicking phantom gel.
