Microneedle (MN) is a novel technique of the biomedical engineering field because of its ability to evaluate bioinformation via minimal invasion. One of the urgent requirements for ground-breaking health care monitoring is persistent monitoring. Hollow microneedles are extremely attractive to extract skin interstitial fluid (ISF) for analysis, which makes them perfect for sensing biomarkers and facilitating diagnosis. Nevertheless, its intricate fabrication process has hampered its extensive application. The present research demonstrates an easy one-step preparation approach for hollow MNs on the foundation of the refraction index variations of polyethylene glycol diacrylate (PEGDA) in the process of photopolymerization. The fabricated hollow microneedle exhibited ideal mechanical characteristics to penetrate the skin. Hydrodynamic simulations showed that the liquid was risen in a hollow microneedle by capillary force. Furthermore, a paper-based glucose sensor was integrated with the hollow microneedle. We also observed that the MN array smoothly extracted ISF in vitro and in vivo by capillary action. The outcomes displayed the applicability of the MN patch to persistent blood glucose (GLU) monitoring, diagnosis-related tests for patients and pre-diabetic individuals.
微针(MN)是生物医学工程领域的一项新技术,因为它能够通过微创方式评估生物信息。突破性的医疗保健监测的一个迫切要求是持续监测。空心微针非常吸引人,可以提取皮肤间质液(ISF)进行分析,这使其非常适合检测生物标志物并促进诊断。然而,其复杂的制造工艺阻碍了其广泛应用。本研究在光聚合过程中聚乙二醇二丙烯酸酯(PEGDA)折射率变化的基础上,展示了一种简单的一步法制备空心 MN 的方法。所制备的空心微针具有理想的机械特性,可穿透皮肤。流体动力学模拟表明,液体通过毛细作用力上升到空心微针中。此外,还将纸基葡萄糖传感器与空心微针集成在一起。我们还观察到,MN 阵列通过毛细作用在体外和体内顺利提取 ISF。结果表明,MN 贴片适用于持续血糖(GLU)监测、患者和糖尿病前期个体的诊断相关测试。
