- Abstract
Owing to their potential to transform traditional medical diagnostics and health monitoring, wearable biosensors have become an alternative evolutionary technology in the field of medical care. However, it is still necessary to overcome some key technique challenges, such as the selectivity, sensitivity, and stability of biometric identification. Herein, a novel, wearable electrochemical sensor based on a molecularly imprinted polymer (MIP) integrated with a copper benzene-1,3,5-tricarboxylate metal–organic framework (MOF) was designed for the detection of stress through the on-body monitoring of cortisol in sweat. The MOF was used as the substrate for MIP deposition to enhance the stability and sensitivity of the sensor. The sensor consisted of two layers, with a microfluidic layer as the top layer for spontaneous sweating and a modified electrode as the bottom layer for sensing. The sensor measured cortisol levels by detecting the current change that occurred when the target molecules bound to the imprinted cavities, using Prussian blue nanoparticles embedded in the MIP framework as the REDOX probe. The proposed sensor exhibited a linear detection range of 0.01–1000 nM with a detection limit of 0.0027 nM, and favorable specificity over other analogies. This facile anti-body free sensor showed excellent stability, and can be successfully applied for in situ cortisol monitoring.
