Articles Related News July 2025 Breakthrough Microwave Biosensor Featured on Cover of ACS Sensors 1 min read · Wed, Jul 9 2025 News PhD student Firas Fatani and the research team from Prof. Atif Shamim’s group have developed a microwave biosensor that achieves highly selective lactate detection in sweat—without the need for complex labeling or sample preparation. This innovative platform, recently featured on the cover of ACS Sensors, marks a significant milestone in wearable health monitoring. The sensor integrates a complementary split-ring resonator (CSRR) with enzymatic functionalization embedded inside a soft, microfluidic channel, enabling real-time tracking of lactate levels through permittivity shifts.
