What is Organic Electrochemical Transistor Incorporating an Ionogel as a Solid State Electrolyte for Lactate Sensing about?
The bulk of the currently available biosensing techniques often require complex liquid handling, and thus suffer from problems associated with leakage and contamination. We demonstrate the use of an organic electrochemical transistor for detection of lactate (an essential analyte in physiological measurements of athlete performance) by integration of a room temperature ionic liquid in a gelformat, as a solid-state electrolyte. The detection of lactate (deprotonated form of lactic acid) in blood provides a biochemical indicator of anaerobic metabolism in patients with circulatory failure. 1 In addition to its presence in blood, lactate can be found in sweat (concentration range between 9 and 23 mM), reflecting, in an indirect way, eccrine gland metabolism. 2 It is well known that lactate concentration increases during physical exercise, making it a useful parameter to monitor wellness, physical fitness and the effects of exercise. 3 Detection in sweat offers a less invasive and dynamic way of measuring lactate concentration, particularly during exercise. Current methods of detection of lactate include fibre optics, 4 conducting polyaniline films, 5 carbon nanotubes, 6 screen printed
