<Figure 2. Example of the fabricated patch worn (left) and images of sequential sweat collection and storage (right). By designing precise microfluidic channels based on capillary burst valves, sequential sweat collection was implemented, which enabled label-free analysis of metabolite changes associated with exercise and diet.>
