Currently, these microfluidic devices are fairly expensive due to their ... "In a year or so, we will show versatile paper-based ELISA diagnosis kits, which are applicable, at least, to 10-the most ...

To address this problem, the researchers turned to paper-based microfluidics. Paper-based microfluidics is not a new idea. Its previous uses in diagnostic devices are powered by liquid wicking ...

Microfluidic paper-based analytical devices ( PADs) have gained a lot of attention for their attractive features owing to the use of paper as a substrate, such as being low-cost, easily and safely ...

Paper-based microfluidic devices (µPAD) have been formed which allow multiple bioassays to be conducted simultaneously. The µPAD requires only a droplet of sample to identify a range of analytes ...

“Paper-based microfluidic devices probably won’t be sensitive enough to detect every disease, but they are sensitive enough for many useful applications,” says Andres Martinez, one of ...

Tsung-Ting Tsai and colleagues employed gold nanoparticles and microfluidic paper-based analytical devices to achieve rapid diagnosis without the need for complex and time-consuming laboratory ...

These issues have become major limitations to the social implementation of ELISA. To address these issues, the researchers developed a centrifugal microfluidic chip with autonomous control functions.

What this paper microfluidic device adds is that it doesn’t merely contain antigens, but performs the lysis (i.e. breakdown of the virus particles), genetic material multiplication using RT-LAMP ...
