ELECTROCHEMICAL SENSOR FOR SWEAT MONITORINGABSTRACT
Introduction: Attention is given to developing electrochemical sensors for the rapid and real-time measurement of lactate levels. The synthesis of electrochemical sensors is based on an electrode modified with a nanocomposite.
Objective: Analyze an electrochemical sensor's feasibility for sports monitoring sweat in lactate. The Au@CNTs were the main focus of this study.
Methods: The Au@CNTs composite was synthesized on the GCE surface and tested under pre-established protocols as a sensor.
Results: The shape and structure of the modified electrodes were analyzed using SEM. The results showed that the Au@CNTs nanoparticles in the Au@CNTs nanocomposite were evenly distributed throughout the porous CNTs network. The performance of the developed sensor was measured using cyclic voltammetry and amperometry. The electrochemical biosensor responded linearly to lactate over phosphate buffer solution with a low detection limit and sensitivity.
Conclusion: The experiment of this sensor evaluated lactate concentrations in real sweat samples that were exceptionally close to the injection amount, enabling it as an effective biosensor for the detection of lactate in sweat samples. Level of Evidence: Therapeutic Studies - Outcome Investigation.
