Abstract
Paper-based diagnostics usually refers to microfluidic and chemical diagnostic components implemented on paper substrates, with the aim of such devices being able to replace more costly microfluidic diagnostic platforms. Paper provides a model platform on which to develop low-cost diagnostics, as it has intrinsic fluidic properties in addition to being a low-cost substrate. For successful paper-based diagnostics to be realized, additional functionality needs to be integrated to enable paper-based diagnostics to fulfil other technical requirements. The recent technology push for printed electronics provides an opportunity to upgrade paper diagnostic devices with strongly augmented functionality, whilst maintaining low cost. This is a possible route to meeting the ASSURED criteria, and in this chapter we explore different options towards achieving this goal.
