Abstract
The present disclosure discloses a process for preparing a macroporous hydrogel using spinodal decomposition technique. The present disclosure provides a macroporous hydrogel and a macroporous hydrogel sensor. Further, the present disclosure provides a method of detecting an analyte in a sample using the macroporous hydrogel sensor, and a point of care kit comprising the macroporous hydrogel sensor.
Claims20
A process for preparing a macroporous hydrogel, the process comprising:
- a. exposing a prepolymer solution comprising an ethylene glycol-based monomer, a photoinitiator, and at least one porogen, to UV radiation for a duration in the range of 0.1 s to 600 s, to form a hydrogel, wherein power density of the UV radiation is in the range of 0.1 to 70 mW/cm2;
- and
- b. washing the hydrogel, to obtain the macroporous hydrogel.
