Microneedle biosensor for real-time electrical detection of nitric oxide for in situ cancer diagnosis during endomicroscopy

Adv Healthc Mater. 2015 Jun 3;4(8):1153-8. doi: 10.1002/adhm.201500012. Epub 2015 Feb 27.

Abstract

A dual-diagnostic system of endom-icroscope and microneedle sensor is developed to demonstrate high-resolution imaging combined with electrical real-time detection of NO released from cancer tissues. The dual-diagnostic system can be a new platform for facile, precise, rapid, and accurate detection of cancers in various biomedical applications.

Keywords: PEDOT; biosensors; cancer diagnosis; microneedles; nitric oxide.
