16th International Conference on Miniaturized Systems for Chemistry and Life Sciences

We present a portable microsystem to quantitatively detect cocaine in human saliva. The chip combines a simple microfluidic method for multiphase liquid-liquid extraction to transfer cocaine from IR-light absorbing saliva to an IRtransparent solvent with the on-chip cocaine detection by IR-waveguide-spectroscopy (QC-laser, waveguide, detector). With our droplet-based extraction method we achieve an additional analyte pre-concentration of at least two orders of magnitude.
