摘要
We have developed a system to diagnose wound infection in a very early stage. Based on an electrochemical hydrogen peroxide sensor, the system determines the enzyme activity of myeloperoxidase, which is a biomarker for wound infection. The sensor system was evaluated in vitro and with samples of actual wound fluid. We show that the infection status of wounds can be reliably detected.
