Monitor Your Health With Microfluidic Sweat Sensors

  When   it  comes to sweat, the first impression would be a  stinky workout byproduct for most people. However, s weat is an interesting biological fluid for researchers who focus on health-assessing wearable microfluidic sensors , because it contains electrolytes, molecules, lactate, and proteins working as excellent non-invasive biomarkers of physiological health.   An Overview of Microfluidics   Microfluidics are small volumes of fluids, down to   a quadrillionth of a liter . The behaviors of fluids are very different on the micrometric scal e compared with that in daily life , which inspires new  and innovative  scientific experiments.  This term could refer to both   studies of the fluid  behaviors through micro-channels   and the technology of manufacturing microminiaturized devices , in which chambers and tunnels  are designed for fluids flow ing  or  confinement .   The key concept   of ...
