A microwell-based impedance sensor on an insertable microneedle for real-time in vivo cytokine detection

Abstract Impedance-based protein detection sensors for point-of-care diagnostics require quantitative specificity, as well as rapid or real-time operation. Furthermore, microfabrication of these sensors can lead to the formation of factors suitable for in vivo operation. Herein, we present microfabr...
