Abstract
Point-of-care testing of multiple chronic disease biomarkers is crucial for timely intervention and management of chronic diseases. Here, a “sample-to-answer” microfluidic chip was developed for simultaneous detection of multiple chronic disease biomarkers in whole blood by integrating a plasma separation module. The whole detection process is very convenient, i.e., just add whole blood and get the results. The chip successfully achieved the simultaneous detection of total cholesterol, triglycerides, uric acid, and glucose in undiluted whole blood within 21 min, including 6 min for plasma separation and 15 min for enzymatic chromogenic reactions. Moreover, the sensitivity levels of on-chip detection of chronic disease biomarkers can also meet clinically relevant thresholds. The chip is easy to use and has significant potential to improve home self-management of chronic diseases and enhance healthcare outcomes.
