Cheap Electrochemical Diagnostic System Featuring a Triboelectric Generator
Scientists at Purdue University have developed cheap, portable, and self-powered devices for performing Electrochemical analysis*for Diagnostic purposes. Made mostly of paper, these devices*can be produced in large quantities and used by just about anyone with minor training. The current prototype of the device is able to detect glucose, uric acid, and*l-lactate, and other biomarkers can be targeted as well.
The device has a paper top that has*colorimetric assays and a pipeting mechanism that helps perform Electrochemical analysis. The electronic component is powered by a Triboelectric generator, which takes up the*layer below the paper, that requires nothing more than a few taps to produce sufficient electric power.
The colorimetric assays output different colors depending on whether they spot certain biomarkers. While this may be confusing for a non-professional, this kind of test would come with a simple smartphone app that simply looks at the test and interprets the results.
Here’s a Purdue University video presending the new Diagnostic devices:
