Abstract
Demand for non-invasive, fast, real-time and inexpensive analyses in humans is increasing. In particular, measurements of metabolites in media other than blood are particularly important for patients who have to control daily parameters such as glycemia and urea, and for people who have problems collecting blood. Although many sampling sites are available for non-invasive sensing, until now most efforts have concentrated on saliva, sweat, and the human skin itself. In this chapter, we detail examples of non-invasive measurements of metabolites of clinical interest, other than glucose, present in saliva and sweat that correlate well in bloodI documenti in IRIS sono protetti da copyright e tutti i diritti sono riservati, salvo diversa indicazione.
