Electrochemical detection of cholesterol in human biofluid using microneedle sensor

) towards cholesterol in buffer solution, with good linearity over the 1-20 μM range and a correlation coefficient of 0.9910. The analytical performance of the microneedle sensor was also investigated in artificial interstitial fluid and a skin-mimicking phantom gel; the sensor showed great potential for skin-worn/wearable applications with excellent linearity and a low detection limit. In addition, the developed microneedle sensor showed satisfactory stability and good selectivity towards cholesterol in the presence of potential interfering biomolecules, including glucose, lactic acid, uric acid, and ascorbic acid. This sensor exhibits enormous promise for straightforward, sensitive, and minimally invasive monitoring of cholesterol.
