Abstract: The present invention relates to a bimetallic electrochemical sensor integrated polymeric microneedle device for detection of lactate in dermal ISF (an alternative to blood samples). The device comprises of a polymeric microneedle array and a sensor strip drop casted with bimetallic nanocomposite (Cu-Ni) supported on graphitic carbon nitride. Upon application onto the skin, the microneedles create microchannels that facilitate access and transport to dermal ISF with lactate to the sensing surface. Upon contact with nanocomposite surface the lactate presenting in dermal ISF undergoes electrochemical oxidation generating an electrical signal proportional to lactate concentration. The integration enables simultaneous uptake of dermal ISF and detection of lactate. The proposed bimetallic electrochemical sensor integrated polymeric microneedle device platform provides rapid, and sensitive lactate monitoring and is suitable for bed-side, point-of-care, and continuous monitoring applications.
