Abstract

Official abstract text for this publication.

The invention provides a device for detecting drugs of abuse or other compounds in saliva. The invention thus provides a device for detecting the presence of one or more analytes in a saliva sample, comprising: (a) One or more pre-treatment regions for specifically or non-specifically removing at least a part of the fraction of the saliva sample interfering with detection of the one or more analytes; and (b) A detection region comprising a biosensor surface, the surface comprising: molecules capable of specifically binding the one or more analytes; or the one or more analytes and/or analyte analogs.

First claim

Opening claim text (preview).

The invention claimed is: 1. A microfluidic device for detecting the presence of one or more analytes in a saliva sample, comprising: one or more pre-treatment chambers comprising a surface which comprises a first molecule capable of specifically or non-specifically binding to one or more saliva components in the saliva sample interfering with the detection of the one or more analytes for specifically or non-specifically removing at least a part of the fraction of components in th…
