Integration of paper-based microfluidic devices with commercial electrochemical readers

Year: 2010

Type: article

Abstract: The combination of simple Electrochemical Micro-Paper-based Analytical Devices (EµPADs) with commercially available glucometers allows rapid, quantitative electrochemical analysis of a number of compounds relevant to human health (e.g., glucose, cholesterol, lactate, and alcohol) in blood or urine.
