ABSTRACT
This study aimed to develop a lactate sensor with a microchannel that overcomes the issue of air bubbles interfering with the measurement of lactate levels in sweat and to evaluate its potential for continuous monitoring of lactate in sweat. To achieve continuous monitoring of lactate, a microchannel was used to supply and drain sweat from the electrodes of the lactate sensor. A lactate sensor was then developed with a microchannel that has an area specifically designed to trap air bubbles and prevent them from contacting the electrode. The sensor was evaluated by a person while exercising to test its effectiveness in monitoring lactate in sweat and its correlation with blood lactate levels. Furthermore, the lactate sensor with a microchannel in this study can be worn on the body for a long time and is expected to be used for the continuous monitoring of lactate in sweat. The developed lactate sensor with a microchannel effectively prevented air bubbles from interfering with the measurement of lactate levels in sweat. The sensor showed a concentration correlation ranging from 1 to 50 mM and demonstrated a correlation between lactate in sweat and blood. Additionally, the lactate sensor with a microchannel in this study can be worn on the body for an extended period and is expected to be useful for the continuous monitoring of lactate in sweat, particularly in the fields of medicine and sports.
