A soft, wearable microfluidic device for the capture, storage, and colorimetric sensing of sweat
Open accessAbstract
A soft, skin-mounted microfluidic device captures microliter volumes of sweat and quantitatively measures biochemical markers by colorimetric analysis.
Overview

Written from the paper’s full text.
TL;DR
A soft, skin-mounted microfluidic device captures sweat through microchannels and reservoirs and colorimetrically quantifies sweat rate, total loss, pH, chloride, lactate, and glucose, with optional NFC smartphone readout. Human testing during controlled cycling and a 104-km outdoor bicycle race demonstrated feasibility, though the colorimetric chemistry limits real-time and time-dependent marker tracking.
Key findings
- The device retained ~50 μL of sweat, corresponding to 1 to 6 hours of exercise depending on sweat loss and mounting location; sweat rates were 12 to 120 μL/hour per cm².
- In 9 subjects during controlled cycling at 38°C and 50% relative humidity, lower-back sweat rates were typically ~2.3-fold greater than volar forearm rates; large-harvesting-area devices agreed with absorbent pads, and colorimetric chloride, lactate, and pH results agreed with laboratory analysis.
- In 12 cyclists during the 104-km El Tour de Tucson, devices collected sweat without detachment, leakage, or reported discomfort; older subjects (50–69 years) had greater sweating rates than younger subjects (10–29 years), and males had greater rates than females.
- Colorimetric assays covered pH 5.0–7.0, lactate 1.5–100 mM, and glucose with an LOD of ~200 μM; image analysis could resolve 0.5 pH units and 0.2, 0.3, and 0.1 mM changes in chloride, lactate, and glucose, respectively, corresponding to a 1% change in the R channel.
Methods
- Soft lithography fabricated multilayer PDMS microfluidic devices with a skin adhesive layer, colorimetric reagent reservoirs, serpentine sweat-volume channel, and optional NFC electronics; in vitro testing used an artificial sweat-pore system with a syringe pump.
- Indoor human study: 9 healthy subjects exercised on cycle ergometers under controlled 38°C and 50% relative humidity, with devices on the lower back and volar forearm and two harvesting areas; results were compared with absorbent pads and laboratory chemical analysis.
- Outdoor human study: 12 healthy volunteers wore devices on the lower back and volar forearm during a 104-km bicycle race; sweat images were captured by smartphone and digital single-lens reflex cameras, and Pearson/Spearman correlation analyses were performed using SAS and JMP.
Limitations
- Stated: the colorimetric schemes do not afford real-time tracking of changes in analyte concentration, and the current channel/reservoir designs cannot easily provide time-dependent marker concentration information.
- Stated: limitations are primarily in the range of chemical reagents available for accurate colorimetric analysis at relevant concentrations; further field studies are needed to demonstrate accuracy in realistic, demanding scenarios.
- Stated and evident: the small sample size only partially demonstrated correlations across individual subjects, and glucose in healthy subjects fell below the LOD for both image and laboratory analysis; small harvesting areas yielded somewhat higher inferred sweat rates, perhaps due to altered perspiration behavior caused by the device’s physical presence.

About these checks
Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.
A language model drew the claims from the paper on 2026-10-09, under version 3 of the claim definition (model deepseek-v4.1-flash, prompt extract-v3).
A second model labelled each claim on 2026-10-09 (model jev-1.13-20260917, definition revision gold-guideline-v0.2).
Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.
Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
