Paper-based Human Neutrophil elastase detection device
Our PEDD has been used to detect the HNE level in both tear and wound fluids of 9 patients, and the limitations of detection were about 0.76 μg/mL and 0.63 μg/mL respectively. Our device requires only 15 minutes, 3 μL of clinical sample for each test, and offers superior sensitivity compared to other current HNE detection methods. The HNE concentrations in the patient samples have shown that the elevated HNE levels might suggest an abnormal healing of either acute or chronic wounds, consistent with previous studies that showed excess protease levels in all non-healing wounds.
