Overview
A research project exploring a microfluidic device concept for therapeutic drug monitoring (TDM) of vancomycin and gentamicin.
The challenge
The project examines whether a small sample could support the monitoring of two antibiotics through a single integrated workflow.
Our approach
The proposed chip would separate plasma and divide the sample into two channels, exploring electrochemical detection for vancomycin and optical detection for gentamicin. These are concepts to investigate.
Current stage and progress
The project is listed as execution in progress. The available project document describes a concept and simulation phase; current results need confirmation.
Roadmap
The documented plan includes literature and patent research, chip design, flow and diffusion simulations, assessment of detection methods and a final report.
Expected outcomes and impact
Planned outputs include a CAD concept, simulation results, a comparison with existing approaches and a development roadmap.
