Description
TECHNICAL FIELD
[0001] The present application relates to the technical field of sensing devices, in particular to a preparation of a portable urine detection platform. BACKGROUND
[0002] Urine contains the final metabolites filtered by the kidney after metabolism. Urine metabolites can directly reflect the pathological and physiological conditions of the body, and are an ideal source of disease markers. Disease recognition using the differences in metabolites contained in urine (i.e., urine markers) has become an ideal non-invasive early detection and clinical screening method. Current research on urine metabolites mainly focuses on the detection of soluble metabolites (such as proteins) and volatile organic compounds (VOCs) in urine. Most of the traditional techniques used are offline and rely on large and expensive instruments, such as gas chromatography-mass spectrometry (GC-MS), and require specific sample pretreatment steps. Although these techniques have achieved remarkable results, they are slightly insufficient in terms of direct, rapid, and real-time online detection, and rarely meet the requirements of point-of-care testing (POCT). Compared with GC-MS, electronic noses are lower in cost, faster in speed, and more suitable for portability in identifying different VOCs. The high cost, difficulty in carrying, and complex detection procedures of traditional electronic nose-based urine detection platforms limit their widespread use. Therefore, the development of a portable urine detection platform that can be used for non-invasive disease recognition, is economical and efficient, and has high performance will help to directly, rapidly, and sensitively detect changes in urine VOCs, seamlessly integrate laboratory techniques and clinical diagnosis, achieve early non-invasive disease recognition, and ultimately develop individualized health care and treatment strategies to bring blessings to patients and the public.
