Abstract
paper-based analytical device (μPAD) for in situ rapid colorimetric detection of microorganisms in environmental water samples. We fabricated the μPAD with the wax printing method at curing conditions of 100°C for 7 seconds. For quick bacterial detection, we modified the catalase test with Fenton’s reaction as a colorimetric biochemical reaction. This modified catalase test provided a color indicator according to the concentration of Escherichia coli (E. coli, XL-1 Blue strain). All of the image data from the detection chamber of the μPAD was analyzed at the precision of 300 pixels for each color space component (i.e., hue, saturation, and value in HSV color). In addition, environmental samples were tested with our μPAD, and the data were fitted in the range of colorimetric reference chart for E. coli sample testing.
