Electromembrane extraction in a microchip

In several research papers, we have developed electromembrane extraction in microchip systems together with Danish and Spanish colleagues. This technology can be the size of a thumbnail, and can be used to extract, isolate, and pre-concentrate drug substances present in small blood sample. More research is required, but in five to ten years the technology may be combined with smartphones, and patients can check themselves that they are properly medicated by a finger prick. Recently, we published a new paper in this research line, focused on non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drugs.
