Abstract
-butylhydroquinone), in addition to being successfully used for quantification of nitrite in spiked artificial saliva samples. Beyond the flow rate improvement, this "thread-in-tube" strategy ensured the protection of the fluid from external contamination while making it easier to connect the electrode array to the microchannels. Thus, we envision that the thread in a tube strategy could bring interesting improvements to thread-based microfluidic analytical devices.
