This Project Grant award from the National Institute of Neurological Disorders and Stroke (NINDS), under the Extramural Research Programs in the Neurosciences and Neurological Disorders (CFDA 93.853) program, is supporting the development of a portable microsampling backpack with an integrated sensing system for neuroscience research. The $147,519 award, granted on January 8, 2025, aims to create a tool that will allow for unrestrained microsampling within the brain of rats. The key products to be developed include a custom microcontroller board, fluidic pumping mechanism, microfluidic chip, and integrated UV-VIS sensor, which will enable closed-loop fluid sampling and real-time chemical sensing. The prototype backpacks will be tested using various analytes, with the goal of integrating the system with commercial microdialysis probes as well as custom 3D printed microsampling probes. Completion of this work will provide an initial portable, battery-powered backpack sampling platform to support advanced neuroscience research.
