Abstract
Paper has been present in our culture for more than two thousand years, traditionally used to represent value, store information, for communication, sanitary use, packaging and many more. Recently, this material was rediscovered as a valuable substrate for electronic applications, sensors and microfluidic platforms. In this chapter we will take a closer look at the chemical composition of paper, its structure, and how they influence analytical performence of paper-based devices. Short history of paper-based analytics will also be presented, going back as far as to the beginings of the Current Era. In the end more focus will be given to up-to-date applications of paper in analytical systems including novel possiblities in the areas of both architecture and detection.
