Researchers to Create Portable Sensor for Detecting Metal Levels in Human Blood Sample

In 2010, Ian Papautsky, associate professor in the University of Cincinnati's College of Engineering and Applied Science’s Department of Electrical Engineering and Computer Systems, formed a strategic partnership with renowned researchers from two other UC colleges—Erin Haynes, assistant professor in the College of Medicine’s Department of Environmental Health, and William Heineman, professor in the McMicken College of Arts and Sciences’ Department of Chemistry—to create a low-cost, portable sensor that could detect metal levels in a human blood sample. More specifically, he wanted to make a point-of-care sensor that would rapidly analyze (in real-time, 10 minutes or less) and detect dangerous amounts of manganese in children that could be administered by a person without a medical degree.
