Abstract in brief

  • The SalivaSensing Dental Floss is an innovative, non-invasive device that uses molecularly imprinted polymers and thread microfluidics to rapidly and accurately measure salivary cortisol, a stress biomarker, within 1-12 minutes.
  • The platform features a high-sensitivity graphene-based electrode that detects very low cortisol levels (as low as 0.048 pg/mL) with excellent repeatability and precision, demonstrating strong correlation with traditional ELISA tests.
  • This flexible, wireless-enabled saliva testing tool offers a convenient way to monitor stress daily and can potentially be adapted to detect other important salivary biomarkers in complex samples.
