Abstract
- A recent report from Chulalongkorn University in Bangkok, Thailand discusses new research findings on wound infections. The study proposes a simple and portable 3D origami-fluidic paper-based electrochemical sensor for detecting myeloperoxidase (MPO) activity in wound exudate samples. The device utilizes an origami pattern to manipulate the flow and allow for electrochemical reactions on the electrode surface. The researchers found that the device can detect MPO activity in a range of 0.5-5 U/ml and can differentiate between infected and non-infected wounds. This device shows promise for rapid and portable MPO activity detection in resource-limited settings. [Extracted from the article]
