Development and Characterization of Reagent Pencils for Microfluidic Paper Based Analytical Devices
<p>Microfluidic paper based analytical devices (microPADs) are a novel platform for point of care (POC) diagnostics. Limitations of reagent shelf life have been overcome with the introduction of reagent pencils as a method for solid-based reagent deposition. While useful, little work has been …

An Investigation of Poly(N-Isopropylacrylamide) for Applications with Microfluidic Paper-Based Analytical Devices
… as a fluid delivery system for use with microfluidic paper-based analytical devices (microPADs). MicroPADs are postage-stamp-sized devices made out of paper that can be used as platforms for low-cost, simple-to-use point-of-care diagnostic assays. P(NIPAM) is a thermally responsive …

Active transport and concentration of analytes in microfluidic paper based analytical devices using ion concentration polarization
Microfluidic paper-based analytical devices (µPADs) have a high potential for miniaturizing complex testing functions, since they are inexpensive, disposable, and portable. Paper has the advantage over traditional fluid channel systems in that it houses capillary-driven flow, which requires no …

Stabilization of Horseradish Peroxidase Using Epoxy Novolac Resins for Applications with Microfluidic Paper-Based Analytical Devices
<p>Microfluidic paper-based analytical devices (microPADs) are an emerging platform for point-of-care diagnostic tests for use by untrained users with potential applications in healthcare, environmental monitoring, and food safety. These devices can be developed for a multitude of different tests, …

Pump-free magnetophoresis for improved point-of-care diagnostics
… (POC) testing to improve patient healthcare. Microfluidic devices are a popular approach for diagnostics because they offer reduced assay times, reduced sample volume, and are small (<10 cm). Additionally, microfluidic devices can be used with magnetophoresis to improve sensitivity and …

Advanced Applications of Raman Spectroscopy for Environmental Analyses
… differentiation. A set of rules was outlined based on Raman peak ratios to allow an inexperienced user to determine the toxin variant identity from its Raman spectrum. DCDR was also employed for microcystin-LR (MC-LR) detection in environmental waters at environmentally relevant …
