Monodispersed cross-linked poly(acrylic acid) (PAA) droplets (PAA X-droplets), prepared using the microfluidic method with in situ ultraviolet curing, were used as small spherical sensors to simultaneously detect both Ca2+ and Mg2+ in human saliva and serum. The PAA X-droplet treated with KOH (PAAKOH X-droplet) was used as a reference droplet because of its highly swollen state. The PAAKOH X-droplets shrunk in response to the presence of divalent metal ions (Ms) by forming a bridged structure of COO-M-OOC. The sizes of the
