N2 - In this work, we report a USB-type electrochemical sensor based on printed circuit board for stripping analysis of trace metals such as lead, zinc, or manganese. Monitoring levels of these metals in bodily fluids (e.g., blood serum) is critical in detection and monitoring of environmental or worksite exposure. Yet the conventional spectroscopic methods were not suitable for on-site measurements and require long turnaround times. Our proof-of-concept USB-type sensor offers low-cost and rapid measurement in small sample volumes. It exhibits stable performances for all three metals, and can ultimately be applied to point-of-care applications in complex biological or environmental sample matrices.
