MUMBAI, India, Nov. 2 -- Intellectual Property India has published a patent application (202611110380 A) filed by Chitkara University on September 15, 2026, for A Portable Paper-Based Microfluidic Sensing System And Method For Electrochemical Estimation Of Vitamin B1 (thiamine).
Inventors include Dr. Rohit Bhatia; Priyanka Rani; Bibhu Prasad Nanda; and Dr. Thakur Gurjeet Singh.
The application for the patent was published on October 30, 2026, under issue no. 44/2026.
Abstract: The present invention relates to a portable paper-based microfluidic sensing system (100) and a method for quantitative estimation of Vitamin B1 (Thiamine). The sensing system (100) comprises a paper-based microfluidic sensing device (101) having a sample introduction zone (102), at least one microfluidic channel (103), a reagent zone (104), a reaction zone (105), and an electrochemical detection zone (107) comprising a working electrode (108), a reference electrode (109), and a counter electrode (110), and a portable electronic reader (113) configured to receive and process an electrical signal generated by the electrochemical detection zone (107). The invention provides a portable and rapid platform for quantitative estimation of Vitamin B1 suitable for point-of-care diagnostics, food quality analysis, pharmaceutical analysis, nutritional monitoring, veterinary applications, and laboratory testing.
