Dissolving microneedles (DMs) were applied to glucose monitoring in the dermal interstitial fluid (ISF) of rats and their potential as an alternative blood glucose monitoring device was evaluated. Sodium chondroitin sulfate was used to prepare DM array chips, which consisted of 300 DMs/cm². The mean length of the DMs was 475±18 µm and the mean diameter of the basement was 278±8 µm. After DMs were inserted into the skin of the hair-removed rat abdomen, a wet unwoven cloth containing 10–30 µL of water was placed on the skin and ISF was extracted. By increasing the absorbed amount of water on the unwoven cloth from 10 to 30 µL, the extracted amount of glucose increased from 1.66±0.35 µg to 2.75±0.61 µg. Increasing the adhesion time of the wet unwoven cloth to the skin from 0.1 to 5.0 min, increased the amount of ISF glucose from 1.99±0.13 µg to 5.04±0.38 µg. The relation between the amount of glucose in ISF and blood glucose concentrations was examined. With increase in the adhesion time, the coefficient of determination, r ², increased from 0.501 to 0.750. The number of DMs also affected the relationship and values of the coefficient of determinations, r ² were: 0.340 (25 DMs), 0.758 (50 DMs), 0.763 (100 DMs), 0.774 (200 DMs), and 0.762 (300 DMs). These results indicate the usefulness of DMs as an alternative blood glucose monitoring device.
