Printed graphene-based electrochemical sensor with integrated paper microfluidics for rapid lidocaine detection in blood

Published by Elsevier B.V..

Topical lidocaine patches are commonly used to relieve pain and suffering in various clinical and household settings. Despite its extensive use, excessive skin absorption during numbing or pain reduction procedures can cause systemic toxicity, which can lead to life-threatening conditions. Rapid and reliable monitoring of escalating levels of lidocaine in the blood could help management/prevention of lidocaine overdose and its associated complications. To address this need, here we have developed a disposable point-of-care (POC) diagnostic platform composed of an integrated graphene-based electrochemical sensor with paper-based microfluidics for rapid detection of lidocaine levels in serum and blood samples. The fabrication process takes advantage of advanced, scalable manufacturing techniques, including printing, laser processing, and nondestructive near infrared (NIR) drying. The sensitivity tests of the platform revealed a sensitivity of ∼0.2 μA μM-1 towards lidocaine concentrations in the clinically relevant range (1-100 μM) in both complex matrix fluids of serum and blood with high cross specificity in the presence of the interfering analytes. This proof-of-concept platform could be regarded as the first step toward the development of low-cost and translational POC devices that could help in better pain management and reduce potential side effects or misuse of analgesics.
