Compact and portable chemiluminescence detector for glucose

摘要

A compact chemiluminescence detector for glucose measurement based on a single planar transparent EWOD (electrowetting-on-dielectrics) device is designed and manufactured. Its sensitivity can be as high as 0.12V/μM, and it has a large detection range from 1μM to 20mM, and a low detection limit of 1μM. Such a detector demonstrates its potential as a portable immuno-detector with prompt response and low cost measurement compared with expensive and bulky traditional instruments.
