Beyond the lateral flow assay: A review of paper-based microfluidics
Open accessAbstract
The interest in and use of microfluidic paper-based analytical devices (μPADs) has grown exponentially over the last decade. Cellulose, and modified cellulose, has been used for centuries for making chemical measurements but devices made with this material traditionally suffered from either poor detection limits and/or limited ability to provide quantitative measurements. μPADs address these problems by patterning paper to create microfluidic channel networks that can direct flow to different regions of the device without the need for external pumps used in most traditional microfluidic devices. Furthermore, because the devices are made from cellulose or modified cellulose using inexpensive manufacturing methods, the devices can be inexpensive and disposable. The ability to carry out multiplexed analysis without external pumps using inexpensive, disposable devices makes μPADs ideal for point-of-care (POC) analysis. The interest in μPADs has led to a number of excellent comprehensive reviews in the field; in this review, we do not attempt to reference the entire field but instead seek to highlight major developments as well as areas that will be important for future development of this field.

About these checks
Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.
Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.
Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
