  • Microfluidic patch and electrochemical sensing device
    Patent number: 12123843
    Abstract: A microfluidic patch for separating specific species in biological fluids, comprising a flow layer comprising: a first porous portion to receive and carry a starting biological fluid containing related species; a multilayer membrane downstream the first porous portion and comprising a plurality of graphene-based sheets spaced among each other to define a plurality of parallel channels transversally interconnected and chemically functionalized to provide from the starting biological fluid an outgoing flow of specific species to be detected; and a second porous portion placed downstream the multilayer membrane to receive and carry the outgoing flow to be detected; the patch comprises a first upstream electrode and a first downstream electrode placed respectively upstream and downstream the multilayer membrane to foster the flow through the multilayer membrane from the first to the second porous portion.
    Type: Grant
