Abstract
Microneedle patch is a research hotspot in recent years. It refers to a patch material composed of microscale needle-like protrusions arranged in an array and is available as solid patch, hollow patch, hydrogel patch, porous patch, etc. It offers the strong points of relatively little dimensions, minimal invasiveness, portability and low cost. It has already been commercially applied in the fields of drug and cosmetics delivery. As a sampling technology, microneedle patch has also been applied in food analysis, drug monitoring, and disease monitoring. The microneedle patch can be integrated with sensors, such as flexible electronics, biochemical sensors, and soft microfluidics. The classification, preparation methods, extraction principles, and integration approaches of microneedle patch with biosensors as well as microfluidic devices in food and medicine were introduced in this paper. Finally, the development prospects of microneedle patch in the field of sample collection were discussed.
