History

The concept of Microdialysis was born in the early 1970’s. While examining the cross-section of a blood vessel among fluorescent nerve endings, Professor Urban Ungerstedt of the Karolinska Institute in Stockholm had the idea of using a dialysis tube as “an artificial blood capillary”, in order to monitor chemical events in the tissue, see Microdialysis technique.

The first paper on Microdialysis was published in 1974. Since then, more than 16.500 scientific papers have been published on the technique.
