Abstract
A novel therapeutic drug monitoring point of care testing (POCT) optical device for the detection of immunosuppressants in transplanted patients was designed and tested, with the body interface constituted by an intravascular microdialysis catheter (MicroEye®) which provides the dialysate as clinical sample. An optical biochip with 10 microchannels, based on total internal reflection fluorescence (TIRF), enables the frequent measurement of immunosuppressants. Heterogeneous competitive immunoassays for the detection of mycophenolic acid, tacrolimus and cyclosporine A are implemented on the different microchannels, with the derivative of the immunosuppressants immobilised on the bottom part of the micro-channels.
