Sucrose monolaurate enhances stability of lactate electrodes in sweat sensors

Caption

Sucrose monolaurate, when added as a stabilizer to the electrode, formed protective hexagonal and laminar nanostructures around lactate oxidase, shielding it from sweat and maintaining enzyme activity. This, in turn, enabled more accurate lactic acid detection.
