Abstract
We report a miniaturized batteryless colorimetric biosensing system for measuring saliva components. Our system utilizes a CMOS image sensor and an LED light source embedded in smartphones as a part of the optical system. We measured the concentration of chemical substances by observing color changes of the coloring reagent DA-64, which is specific for hydrogen peroxide. The concentration calculated from the RGB scores of colorimetric images showed strong correlations ( r > 0.95) with the concentrations of the samples. This result shows the possibility of biochemical measurements using miniaturized biosensing systems to determine physiological conditions.
期刊介绍:
Accounts of Chemical Research presents short, concise and critical articles offering easy-to-read overviews of basic research and applications in all areas of chemistry and biochemistry. These short reviews focus on research from the author’s own laboratory and are designed to teach the reader about a research project. In addition, Accounts of Chemical Research publishes commentaries that give an informed opinion on a current research problem. Special Issues online are devoted to a single topic of unusual activity and significance.
Accounts of Chemical Research replaces the traditional article abstract with an article "Conspectus." These entries synopsize the research affording the reader a closer look at the content and significance of an article. Through this provision of a more detailed description of the article contents, the Conspectus enhances the article's discoverability by search engines and the exposure for the research.
