Based on microfluidic technology, AFP (FEMMs fluorescence-encoded magnetic beads) is used to magnetically enrich and separate Fe3O4 nanoparticles (by high-temperature chemical swelling). quantum dots and Fe3O4 nanoparticles are effectively combined with microspheres through polymer chain ends or hydrophobic interactions. ...
The basic principle is that when glucose diffuses in the hydrogel matrix, it will be converted into gluconic acid by the glucose oxidase in the hydrogel, which will lead to the decrease of the pH value of the environment, and then the protonation of the amine functional group of the hydrogel will result in the swelling increase, so that insulin can be released from the matrix, ...
