Researchers develop the first-ever device powered by blood to measure blood electrical conductivity.
Metabolic disorders, like diabetes and osteoporosis, are burgeoning throughout the world, especially in developing countries.
"As the fields of nanotechnology and microfluidics continue to advance, there is a growing opportunity to develop lab-on-a-chip devices capable of surrounding the constraints of modern medical care," said Amir Alavi, assistant professor of civil and environmental engineering at Pitt's Swanson School of Engineering.
Despite its vitality, the knowledge of human blood conductivity is limited because of its measurement challenges like electrode polarization, limited access to human blood samples, and the complexities associated with blood temperature maintenance. Measuring conductivity at frequencies below 100 Hz is particularly important for gaining a deeper understanding of the blood electrical properties and fundamental biological processes, but is even more difficult.
