چکیده

This work describes the preparation of an array of individually addressable pH sensitive microneedles which are sensitized by electrodepositing iridium oxide. The impact of the deposition potential, storage conditions and interferents on the sensor characteristics such as slope, offset, intra- and inter-batch reproducibility is investigated. The device may be a useful tool for carrying out direct pH measurements of soft and heterogeneous samples such as tissues and organs. For example, we demonstrated that the microneedle array can be employed for real-time mapping of the cardiac pH distribution during cycles of global ischemia and reperfusion.

Fabrication of conical microneedles array using photolithography

Background and Aim: Microneedle technology has led to huge changes in the field of drug delivery medicine. Using microneedles, the drug can be injected locally, painlessly, and in very low and controlled doses with high precision. Local drug delivery through the skin with microneedles has many advantages over other methods of drug delivery. In this method, the drug does not enter the gastrointe...

Micro-LED arrays: a tool for two-dimensional neuron stimulation

Stimulating neuron cells with light is an exciting new technology that is revolutionizing the neurosciences. To date, due to the optical complexity that is involved, photostimulation has only been achieved at a single site using high power light sources. Here we present a GaN based micro-light emitting diode (LED) array that can open the way to multi-site photostimulation of neuron cells. The d...
