Schematic representation of the proposed sensor for sequentially detecting ATP and lactate levels in the blood. Through a series of chemical reactions, ATP and lactate are converted to hydrogen peroxide (H2O2). The breakdown of H2O2 to water (H2O) causes the sensor chip to generate a signal that is detected by the sensor (Keine Nishiyama, et al. Biosensors and Bioelectronics. November 23, 2021).
