Abstract
Microfluidic paper-based analytical devices often are combined with scanners as detectors. In this work, different scanning options offered by scanners: resolution, scanning mode, exposure to radiation, colour restoration, and saving format were tested. Moreover, different attempts to mathematical data treatment based on intensities of three channels-Red, Green and Blue, were studied. All measurements presented in this article were conducted for a model dye-bromothymol blue and a model analyte-zinc(II) ion (complexed with xylenol orange in a paper matrix). The article summarizes the scanning options and possibilities of mathematical calculations. Nevertheless, it is suggested that the best option is to use the prior prepared calculation file to paste obtained intensities and compare all presented in this article (and the most frequently used) equations to process intensities and decide which one should be used in the particular analysis.

Abstract
Paper-based sensors, often referred to as paper-based analytical devices (PADs), stand as a transformative technology in the field of analytical chemistry. They offer an affordable, versatile, and accessible solution for diverse analyte detection. These sensors harness the unique properties of paper substrates to provide a cost-effective and adaptable platform for rapid analyte detection, spanning chemical species, biomolecules, and pathogens. This review highlights the key attributes that make paper-based sensors an attractive choice for analyte detection. PADs demonstrate their versatility by accommodating a wide range of analytes, from ions and gases to proteins, nucleic acids, and more, with customizable designs for specific applications. Their user-friendly operation and minimal infrastructure requirements suit point-of-care diagnostics, environmental monitoring, food safety, and more. This review also explores various fabrication methods such as inkjet printing, wax printing, screen printing, dip coating, and photolithography. Incorporating nanomaterials and biorecognition elements promises even more sophisticated and sensitive applications.

Abstract
Chronic Kidney Disease (CKD) is becoming one of the major causes of morbidity and mortalities in 21st century. We have developed a bioengineered cellulosic paper device for the quantification of albumin (ALB) in physiological samples. The paper surface was activated and antibodies specific to target biomarker was immobilized on engineered paper surface. Every step after modification was characterized by FTIR, XPS, SPM and optical analysis. Further, the device model was designed using CAD file, and a 3-D cascade device was fabricated with in-built constant light source to provide proper and controlled environment for in-situ image analysis. After adding the sample on the bioengineered paper, the antigen-antibody reaction takes place, after that addition of dye results in change of color from yellow to blueish-green within 40 s. An optical method was employed for the analysis of the images by recognizing the specific area and the color intensity. Additionally, the immunosensor specificity was evaluated on number of molecules that are usually found in the serum sample. The linear dynamic range of the developed immunosensor has been reported to be 1-60 mg/mL, covering the normal as well as clinical range of ALB in physiological samples with a detection limit of 0.049(±0.002) mg/mL. With good precision and recovery, the device was able to successfully determine the ALB concentrations in serum sample. The developed device has simple and user-friendly interface and it may also help diagnosing CKD in personalized settings.

Abstract
This paper presents the development of cheap and selective Paper-based Analytical Devices (PADs) for selective Pd(II) determination from very acidic aqueous solutions. The PADs were obtained by impregnating two cm-side squares of filter paper with an azoic ligand, (2-(tetrazolylazo)-1,8 dihydroxy naphthalene-3,6,-disulphonic acid), termed TazoC. The so-obtained orange TazoC-PADs interact quickly with Pd(II) in aqueous solutions by forming a complex purple-blue-colored already at pH lower than 2. The dye complexes no other metal ions at such an acidic media, making TazoC-PADs highly selective to Pd(II) detection. Besides, at higher pH values, other cations, for example, Cu(II) and Ni(II), can interact with TazoC through the formation of stable and pink-magenta-colored complexes; however, it is possible to quantify Pd(II) in the presence of other cations using a multivariate approach. To this end, UV-vis spectra of the TazoC-PADs after equilibration with the metal ions solutions were registered in the 300-800 nm wavelength range. By applying Partial Least Square regression (PLS), the whole UV-vis spectra of the TazoC-PADs were related to the Pd(II) concentrations both when present alone in solution and also in the presence of Cu(II) and Ni(II). Tailored PLS models obtained with matrix-matched standard solutions correctly predicted Pd(II) concentrations in unknown samples and tap water spiked with the metal cation, making the method promising for quick and economical sensing of Pd(II).

Abstract
Rapid detection of nucleic acids is integral for clinical diagnostics, especially if a major public-health emergency occurs. However, such detection cannot be carried out efficiently in remote areas limited by medical resources. Herein, a dual-labeled fluorescence resonance energy transfer (FRET) lateral flow assay (LFA) based on one-pot enzyme-free cascade amplification was developed for rapid, convenient, and sensitive detection of open reading frame (ORF)1ab of severe acute respiratory syndrome-coronavirus-2. The catalyzed hairpin assembly (CHA) reaction of two well-designed hairpin probes was initiated by a target sequence and generated a hybridization chain reaction (HCR) initiator. Then, HCR probes modified with biotin were initiated to produce long DNA nanowires. After two-level amplification, the cascade-amplified product was detected by dual-labeled lateral flow strips. Gold nanoparticles (AuNPs)-streptavidin combined with the product and then ran along a nitrocellulose membrane under the action of capillary force. After binding with fluorescent microsphere-labeled-specific probes on the T line, a positive signal (red color) could be observed. Meanwhile, AuNPs could quench the fluorescence of the T line, and an inverse relationship between fluorescence intensity and the concentration of the CHA-HCR-amplified product was formed. The proposed strategy achieved a satisfactory limit of detection of 2.46 pM for colorimetric detection and 174 fM for fluorescent detection, respectively. Benefitting from the features of being one-pot, enzyme-free, low background, high sensitivity, and selectivity, this strategy shows great potential in bioanalysis and clinical diagnostics upon further development.

Abstract
The general objective of Analytical Chemistry, nowadays, is to obtain best-quality information in the shortest time to contribute to the resolution of real problems. In this regard, electrochemical biosensors are interesting alternatives to conventional methods thanks to their great characteristics, both those intrinsically analytical (precision, sensitivity, selectivity, etc.) and those more related to productivity (simplicity, low costs, and fast response, among others). For many years, the scientific community has made continuous progress in improving glucose biosensors, being this analyte the most important in the biosensor market, due to the large amount of people who suffer from diabetes mellitus. The sensitivity of the electrochemical techniques combined with the selectivity of the enzymatic methodologies have positioned electrochemical enzymatic sensors as the first option. This review, focusing on the electrochemical determination of glucose using paper-based analytical devices, shows recent approaches in the use of paper as a substrate for low-cost biosensing. General considerations on the principles of enzymatic detection and the design of paper-based analytical devices are given. Finally, the use of paper in enzymatic electrochemical biosensors for glucose detection, including analytical characteristics of the methodologies reported in relevant articles over the last years, is also covered.

Abstract
Microfluidic paper-based analytical devices (µPADs) represent one of the promising green analytical strategies for low-cost and simple determination of various analytes. The actual task is the development of such devices for quantitation of antioxidants, e.g., flavonoids. In this paper, possibilities of a novel three-reagent µPAD including silver nitrate, 4-nitrophenyldiazonium tetrafluoroborate, and iron(III) chloride as reagents are assessed with respect to the determination of dihydroquercetin. It is shown that all the three reagents produce different colorimetric responses that can be detected by a mini-spectrophotometer–monitor calibrator or by a smartphone. The method is applicable to direct measuring high contents of dihydroquercetin (the linearity range is 0.026–1 mg mL−1, and the limit of detection is 7.7 µg mL−1), which is favorable for many dietary supplements. The analysis of a food supplement was possible with the relative standard deviations of 9–26%, which is satisfactory for quantitative and semiquantitative determinations. It was found that plotting a calibration graph in 3D space of the three reagents’ responses allows us to distinguish dihydroquercetin from its close structural analogue, quercetin.

Abstract
Paper-based analytical devices (PADs), including lateral flow assays (LFAs), dipstick assays and microfluidic PADs (μPADs), have a great impact on the healthcare realm and environmental monitoring. This is especially evident in developing countries because PADs-based point-of-care testing (POCT) enables to rapidly determine various (bio)chemical analytes in a miniaturized, cost-effective and user-friendly manner. Low sensitivity and poor specificity are the main bottlenecks associated with PADs, which limit the entry of PADs into the real-life applications. The application of nanomaterials in PADs is showing great improvement in their detection performance in terms of sensitivity, selectivity and accuracy since the nanomaterials have unique physicochemical properties. In this review, the research progress on the nanomaterial-based PADs is summarized by highlighting representative recent publications. We mainly focus on the detection principles, the sensing mechanisms of how they work and applications in disease diagnosis, environmental monitoring and food safety management. In addition, the limitations and challenges associated with the development of nanomaterial-based PADs are discussed, and further directions in this research field are proposed.

Abstract
Cosmetics analysis represents a rapidly expanding field of analytical chemistry as new cosmetic formulations are increasingly in demand on the market and the ingredients required for their production are constantly evolving. Each country applies strict legislation regarding substances in the final product that must be prohibited or regulated. To verify the compliance of cosmetics with current regulations, official analytical methods are available to reveal and quantitatively determine the analytes of interest. However, since ingredients, and the lists of regulated/prohibited substances, rapidly change, dedicated analytical methods must be developed ad hoc to fulfill the new requirements. Research focuses on finding innovative techniques that allow a rapid, inexpensive, and sensitive detection of the target analytes in cosmetics. Among the different methods proposed, immunological techniques are gaining interest, as they make it possible to carry out low-cost analyses on raw materials and finished products in a relatively short time. Indeed, immunoassays are based on the specific and selective antibody/antigen reaction, and they have been extensively applied for clinical diagnostic, alimentary quality control and environmental security purposes, and even for routine analysis. Since the complexity and variability of the matrices, as well as the great variety of compounds present in cosmetics, are analogous with those from food sources, immunological methods could also be applied successfully in this field. Indeed, this would provide a valid approach for the monitoring of industrial production chains even in developing countries, which are currently the greatest producers of cosmetics and the major exporters of raw materials. This review aims to highlight the immunological techniques proposed for cosmetics analysis, focusing on the detection of prohibited/regulated compounds, bacteria and toxins, and allergenic substances, and the identification of counterfeits.

Clin Transl Med 2021; 11:e461. [PMID: 34185420 PMCID: PMC8214861 DOI: 10.1002/ctm2.461] [Citation(s) in RCA: 9] [Impact Index Per Article: 3.0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 03/26/2021] [Revised: 05/11/2021] [Accepted: 05/29/2021] [Indexed: 12/23/2022] Open
Abstract
Several clinical examinations have shown the essential impact of monitoring (de)hydration (fluid and electrolyte imbalance) in cancer patients. There are multiple risk factors associated with (de)hydration, including aging, excessive or lack of fluid consumption in sports, alcohol consumption, hot weather, diabetes insipidus, vomiting, diarrhea, cancer, radiation, chemotherapy, and use of diuretics. Fluid and electrolyte imbalance mainly involves alterations in the levels of sodium, potassium, calcium, and magnesium in extracellular fluids. Hyponatremia is a common condition among individuals with cancer (62% of cases), along with hypokalemia (40%), hypophosphatemia (32%), hypomagnesemia (17%), hypocalcemia (12%), and hypernatremia (1-5%). Lack of hydration and monitoring of hydration status can lead to severe complications, such as nausea/vomiting, diarrhea, fatigue, seizures, cell swelling or shrinking, kidney failure, shock, coma, and even death. This article aims to review the current (de)hydration (fluid and electrolyte imbalance) monitoring technologies focusing on cancer. First, we discuss the physiological and pathophysiological implications of fluid and electrolyte imbalance in cancer patients. Second, we explore the different molecular and physical monitoring methods used to measure fluid and electrolyte imbalance and the measurement challenges in diverse populations. Hydration status is assessed in various indices; plasma, sweat, tear, saliva, urine, body mass, interstitial fluid, and skin-integration techniques have been extensively investigated. No unified (de)hydration (fluid and electrolyte imbalance) monitoring technology exists for different populations (including sports, elderly, children, and cancer). Establishing novel methods and technologies to facilitate and unify measurements of hydration status represents an excellent opportunity to develop impactful new approaches for patient care.

Abstract
The design of a cheap, simple, and handy sensing system for rapid quantitation of pharmaceuticals becomes mandatory to ease drug development procedures, quality control, health care, etc. This work describes a simple, innovative, and easily manufactured paper-based device using a correction pen as a plotter for hydrophobic/lipophobic barriers and graphene quantum dots for recognition and quantification of the hemostatic drug carbazochrome, via fluorescence turn-off mechanism mediated by the inner filter effect. A smartphone-based all-in-one device fitted with an inexpensive 365 nm flashlight as a UV light source and a free image processing software was developed for rapid and reliable interpretation of the fluorescence change from the paper-based device upon introduction of the drug. The simple and convenient steps permit the analysis of many samples in a very short time. The smartphone-based all-in-one device featured excellent sensitivity for carbazochrome with a limit of detection equals to 12 ng/detection zone and good %recovery (100.0 ± 0.4). The reliability of the device was ascertained by favorable statistical comparison with the analogous optimized conventional fluorimetry method and a reference HPLC method. The device has been successfully applied for versatile quantitation of carbazochrome in tablets and on manufacturing equipment surfaces with excellent recoveries. The device offers many green aspects that definitely assist the implementation of the sustainability concept to analytical laboratories. The cost-efficiency, reliability, and ease of fabrication as well as the greenness and user friendship qualify the device for wide application in low-income communities.

Abstract
A visual colorimetric rapid screening system based on a lateral flow device for simultaneous detection and differentiation between influenza A and B nucleoprotein as a model was developed. Monoclonal antibodies, specific for either influenza A or B nucleoproteins, were evaluated for their reactivities and were used as targeting ligands. With the best antibody pairs selected, the system exhibited good specificity to both viruses without cross reactivity to other closely related respiratory viruses. Further semi-quantitative analysis using a strip reader revealed that the system is capable of detecting influenza A and B protein content as low as 0.04 and 1 ng per test, respectively, using a sample volume as low as 100 μL, within 10 minutes (R2 = 0.9652 and 0.9718). With a performance comparison to the commercial tests, the system demonstrated a four-to-eight-fold higher sensitivity. Pre-clinical evaluation with 101 nasopharyngeal swabs reveals correlated results with a standard molecular approach, with 89% and 83% sensitivity towards influenza A and B viruses, and 100% specificity for both viruses.

[PMID: 34065971 PMCID: PMC8150770 DOI: 10.3390/s21103358] [Citation(s) in RCA: 34] [Impact Index Per Article: 11.3] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Grants] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 03/21/2021] [Revised: 04/17/2021] [Accepted: 04/23/2021] [Indexed: 12/20/2022]
Abstract
Paper-based lateral-flow immunoassays (LFIAs) have achieved considerable commercial success and their impact in diagnostics is continuously growing. LFIA results are often obtained by visualizing by the naked eye color changes in given areas, providing a qualitative information about the presence/absence of the target analyte in the sample. However, this platform has the potential to provide ultrasensitive quantitative analysis for several applications. Indeed, LFIA is based on well-established immunological techniques, which have known in the last year great advances due to the combination of highly sensitive tracers, innovative signal amplification strategies and last-generation instrumental detectors. All these available progresses can be applied also to the LFIA platform by adapting them to a portable and miniaturized format. This possibility opens countless strategies for definitively turning the LFIA technique into an ultrasensitive quantitative method. Among the different proposals for achieving this goal, the use of enzyme-based immunoassay is very well known and widespread for routine analysis and it can represent a valid approach for improving LFIA performances. Several examples have been recently reported in literature exploiting enzymes properties and features for obtaining significative advances in this field. In this review, we aim to provide a critical overview of the recent progresses in highly sensitive LFIA detection technologies, involving the exploitation of enzyme-based amplification strategies. The features and applications of the technologies, along with future developments and challenges, are also discussed.

Abstract
In this work, a novel paper-based colorimetric sensor array was developed by inkjet printing method with polyethylene glycol (PEG) immobilization system. Eight commercially available pH indicators with sequential pH segments in nearly whole pH range were dissolved in nine mixed inks to fabricate the 3 × 3 sensor array on mixed cellulose ester (MCE) paper. Based on homogeneous deposition of inkjet printing, the eight pH indicators were sufficiently immobilized on MCE paper with the assistance of PEG-400, which guaranteed pH detection of aqueous samples on sensor array without hydrophobic barriers. Besides, the indicating range of each indicator obtained an extension through the addition of PEG 400, which remarkably enriched the distinguishable capability of sensor array and benefited for high resolution of pH detection. As such, the as-fabricated paper-based sensor array exhibited an excellent discrimination ability in pH range of 1.00-13.60 with a high resolution of 0.20 pH unit, not only for standard pH buffer solutions but for real aqueous samples.

Abstract
Bioanalyses are commonly performed with blood or serum samples. However, these analyses often require invasive and painful blood collection using a needle or finger pricking. Saliva is an alternative and very attractive biological medium for performing clinical analyses, since it contains many types of clinically relevant biomarkers and compounds. Its collection is straightforward and can be achieved in a non-invasive and stress-free way. However, the analytes are frequently present at low concentrations, while the viscosity of whole saliva hinders its analysis using paper devices, especially those with multiple layers (3D-μPADs). This work explores the use of a simple, fast, and low-cost saliva sample pretreatment using a cotton-paper-syringe filtration system, allowing the analysis of saliva samples using multilayer paper devices. The proposed methodology employs the oxidation of glucose and lactate, catalyzed by specific oxidase enzymes, producing hydrogen peroxide. The detection is based on the fluorescence quenching of carbon dots in the presence of hydrogen peroxidase. The concentrations of the analytes showed good linear correlations with the fluorescence quenching, with LODs of 2.60 × 10-6 and 8.14 × 10-7 mol L-1 for glucose and lactate, respectively. The proposed method presented satisfactory intra-day and inter-day repeatabilities, with %RSD values in the range 3.82-6.61%. The enzymatic systems proved to be specific for the analytes and the matrix had no significant influence on the glucose and lactate determinations. The proposed methodology was successfully applied to saliva and serum samples and was validated using certified material.

Abstract
We have prepared a microfluidic paper-based analytical device (μPAD) for the determination of cysteine and homocysteine based on 1,5-diphenylcarbazide-capped silver nanoparticles. The μPAD was developed to identify and quantify the levels of cysteine and homocysteine. The proposed μPAD enabled the detection of cysteine and homocysteine using a colorimetric reaction based on modified silver nanoparticles. The color of the modified AgNPs in the test zone immediately changed after the addition of cysteine and homocysteine. Based on this change, the quantification of these two amino acids was achieved using an RGB color model and ImageJ software. Under optimized conditions, the proposed device enabled the determination of cysteine in the 0.20–20.0 μM concentration range with a limit of detection (LOD) of 0.16 μM. In addition, the LOD of homocysteine was calculated to be 0.25 μM with a linear range of 0.50–20.0 μM. In this work, we focused on the use of the μPAD for the analysis of a series of human urine samples. A simple and novel portable method for the quantitative measurement of cysteine and homocysteine in human urine samples is presented.![]()

Abstract
Paper-based devices have a wide range of applications in point-of-care diagnostics, environmental analysis, and food monitoring. Paper-based devices can be deployed to resource-limited countries and remote settings in developed countries. Paper-based point-of-care devices can provide access to diagnostic assays without significant user training to perform the tests accurately and timely. The market penetration of paper-based assays requires decreased device fabrication costs, including larger packing density of assays (i.e., closely packed features) and minimization of assay reagents. In this review, we discuss fabrication methods that allow for increasing packing density and generating closely packed features in paper-based devices. To ensure that the paper-based device is low-cost, advanced fabrication methods have been developed for the mass production of closely packed assays. These emerging methods will enable minimizing the volume of required samples (e.g., liquid biopsies) and reagents in paper-based microfluidic devices.

Abstract
Despite recent advancements in the field of microfluidic paper-based analytical devices (μPADs), a key challenge remains in developing a simple and efficient μPAD with customized imaging capabilities for antioxidant assays. In the present study, we report a facile approach for μPAD fabrication through the application of transparent nail paint leading to creation of hydrophobic barriers and well-defined channels. The resultant μPADs were then characterized through scanning electron microscopy and contact angle measurements. The resolution and functional features of the fabricated μPAD were amenable to the intended assay. The μPAD's impregnated poly(methacrylic acid) (PMAA)-coated cerium oxide (CeO2) nanoparticles oxidized the 3,3',5,5'-tetramethylbenzidine (TMB) leading to the formation of a blue-colored charge-transfer complex. The addition of different antioxidant standard solutions resulted in a reduction in the blue color in a dose-dependent manner which could be observed visually. The color intensity of the PMAA-CeO2 nanoparticle@TMB oxidation product was inversely proportional to the antioxidant concentration and was measured using customized in-house MATLAB-based image processing software. Importantly, PMAA-CeO2 nanoparticle-based μPADs demonstrated good analytical characteristics and were able to be stored for long periods without any loss of activity. Moreover, potential interferents did not pose any threat to the colorimetric signal read-out for determination of antioxidant activity. The developed method was further applied for the assessment of antioxidant activity in a variety of tea samples and performed satisfactorily in comparison with a commonly used antioxidant detection method. Collectively, the developed μPAD-based platform holds great potential as a low-cost, convenient, portable and reliable method for pursuing various on-site antioxidant assays. Graphical Abstract.

Abstract
Wearable devices are nowadays at the edge-front in both academic research as well as in industry, and several wearable devices have been already introduced in the market. One of the most recent advancements in wearable technologies for biosensing is in the area of the remote monitoring of human health by detection on-the-skin. However, almost all the wearable devices present in the market nowadays are still providing information not related to human ‘metabolites and/or disease’ biomarkers, excluding the well-known case of the continuous monitoring of glucose in diabetic patients. Moreover, even in this last case, the glycaemic level is acquired under-the-skin and not on-the-skin. On the other hand, it has been proven that human sweat is very rich in molecules and other biomarkers (e.g., ions), which makes sweat a quite interesting human liquid with regards to gathering medical information at the molecular level in a totally non-invasive manner. Of course, a proper collection of sweat as it is emerging on top of the skin is required to correctly convey such liquid to the molecular biosensors on board of the wearable system. Microfluidic systems have efficiently come to the aid of wearable sensors, in this case. These devices were originally built using methods such as photolithographic and chemical etching techniques with rigid materials. Nowadays, fabrication methods of microfluidic systems are moving towards three-dimensional (3D) printing methods. These methods overcome some of the limitations of the previous method, including expensiveness and non-flexibility. The 3D printing methods have a high speed and according to the application, can control the textures and mechanical properties of an object by using multiple materials in a cheaper way. Therefore, the aim of this paper is to review all the most recent advancements in the methods for 3D printing to fabricate wearable fluidics and provide a critical frame for the future developments of a wearable device for the remote monitoring of the human metabolism directly on-the-skin.

Abstract
Understanding the relationship between liquid manipulation and micro-/nanostructured interfaces has gained much attention due to the wide potential applications in many fields, such as chemical and biomedical assays, environmental protection, industry, and even daily life. Much work has been done to construct various materials with interfacial liquid manipulation abilities, leading to a range of interesting applications. Herein, different fabrication methods from the top-down approach to the bottom-up approach and subsequent surface modifications of micro-/nanostructured interfaces are first introduced. Then, interactions between the surface and liquid, including liquid wetting, liquid transportation, and a number of corresponding models, together with the definition of hydrophilic/hydrophobic, oleophilic/olephobic, the definition and mechanism of superwetting, including superhydrophobicity, superhydrophilicity, and superoleophobicity, are presented. The micro-/nanostructured interface, with major applications in self-cleaning, antifogging, anti-icing, anticorrosion, drag-reduction, oil-water separation, water collection, droplet (micro)array, and surface-directed liquid transport, is summarized, and the mechanisms underlying each application are discussed. Finally, the remaining challenges and future perspectives in this area are included.

Abstract
Critical biomarkers of disease are increasingly being detected by point-of-care assays. Chemiluminescence (CL) and electrochemiluminescence (ECL) are often used in such assays due to their convenience and that they do not require light sources or other components that could complicate or add cost to the system. Reports of these assays often include readers built on a cellphone platform or constructed from low-cost components. However, the impact the optical design has on the limit of detection (LOD) in these systems remains unexamined. Here, we report a theoretical rubric to evaluate different optical designs in terms of maximizing the use of photons emitted from a CL or ECL assay to improve the LOD. We demonstrate that the majority of cellphone designs reported in the literature are not optimized, in part due to misunderstandings of the optical tradeoffs in collection systems, and in part due to limitations imposed on the designs arising from the use of a mobile phone with a very small lens aperture. Based on the theoretical rubric, we design a new portable reader built using off-the-shelf condenser optics, and demonstrate a nearly 10× performance enhancement compared to prior reports on an ECL assays running on a portable chip.

Abstract
This work presents a capacitively coupled contactless conductivity detector (C4D) etched out from a printed circuit board (PCB) as potential sensor for paper-based analytical systems. Two lines of any desirable pattern forming 35-μm thick planar copper electrodes were produced on a PCB plate (40 mm × 60 mm) by photolithography. The final PCB plate was covered with polypropylene film to serve as the insulating layer for the C4D detector. The film also protected the copper electrodes from corrosion. Electrodes made in this planar geometry make the PCB-C4D suitable as sensor for flat devices such as paper-based analytical devices. For this work, plain paper strips were employed as sample reservoir and as fluidic channel without hydrophobic pattern. A dried paper strip was first placed over the sensor, followed by dispensing a fixed volume of the liquid sample onto the paper. Entrapment of the liquid sample in the paper strip leads to reproducible size and position of the detection zone of the sample liquid for the capacitive coupling effect. High precision was obtained with %RSD ≤1% (n = 18) for standard solutions of KCl. Soil suspensions could be analyzed without prior filtration by placing a drop onto the paper strip extending away from the detector zone. The paper strip filtered out soil particles at the surface of the paper. Therefore, only soil filtrate moved towards the detection zone by lateral flow. The C4D detection using paper strip showed high tolerance to soil suspension with turbidity up to 6657 NTU, offering direct analysis of soil salinity. Cleaning with moist tissue paper between samples is adequate even for dirty samples such as soil suspension. We also monitored conductivity of acid-base reaction in the microfluidic paper channels, which was later applied to the quantification of bicarbonate in water and in antacid tablet ("Soda Mint Tablet").

Abstract
We report the development of a fast and accurate fluorescence-based assay for amidine linked to cellulose membranes and Sepharose gel. The assay is founded on the glyoxal reaction, which involves reaction of an amidine group with glyoxal and an aromatic aldehyde, leading to the formation of a fluorophore that can be analyzed and quantified by fluorescence spectroscopy and imaging. While the assay has been reported previously for aromatic amidine estimation in solution phase, here we describe its adaptation and application to amidine linked to diverse forms of solid matrices, particularly benzamidine Sepharose and benzamidine-linked cellulose membranes. These functionalized porous matrices find important application in purification of serine proteases. The efficacy of a protein separation device is determined by, among other factors, the ligand (amidine) density. Hence, a sensitive and reproducible method for amidine quantitation in solid phase is needed. The glyoxal reaction was carried out on microbead-sized Sepharose gel and cellulose membranes. Calibration curves were developed for each phase, which established linearity in the range of 0-0.45 μmol per mL amidine for free amidine in solution, 0-0.45 μmol amidine per mL Sepharose gel, and 0-0.48 μmol per mL cellulose membrane. The assay showed high accuracy (~ 3.4% error), precision (RSD < 2%), and reproducibility. Finally, we show how this fluorescent labeling (glyoxal) method can provide a tool for imaging membranes and ligand distribution through confocal laser scanning microscopy. Graphical abstract.

Abstract
A method is described for simultaneous fluorometric determination of the biomarkers carcinoembryonic antigen (CEA) and prostate specific antigen (PSA) on the same zone of a paper-based immunodevice. Two kinds of CdTe quantum dots, with respective emission peaks at 525 nm and 605 nm under a single excitation wavelength of 272 nm, were used to label the antibodies against CEA and PSA. Then the capture antibodies of CEA and PSA were immobilized on the same zone of the paper-based device. With the difference of the colors of the quantum dot fluorescence (green and orange), CEA and PSA can be detected on the same zone of the paper-based device. By using of sandwich immunoassay format, CEA and PSA can be simultaneously detected in human serum samples with a linear response in the 1.0-40 ng·mL-1 concentration range for both. The recovery rates of the serum sample were in the range of 95-105%. The method has the potential of being applied to the simultaneous determination of various other kinds of substances on a single multichannel paper-based chip. Graphical abstract Schematic presentation of the simultaneous fluorometric detection of two cancer biomarkers on the same zone of the paper-based immunodevice is provided. Two kinds of CdTe quantum dots with different emission peaks under the same excitation wavelength are labeled on different detection antibodies.

Abstract
This work describes the development of a microfluidic analytical device prepared on a transparent OHP film substrate, named the microfluidic transparent film-based analytical device (μTFAD). Printing technologies including wax printing for microchannel patterning and inkjet printing for chemical assay component deposition have been employed for the μTFAD fabrication. The fully printed μTFAD allowed gravity-assisted pump-free transportation of the sample liquid (50 μL) and an absorbance measurement-based iron ion (Fe2+) assay using nitroso-PSAP as the colorimetric reagent within a wax-patterned microfluidic structure. By measuring absorbance values at the Fe2+-nitroso-PSAP complex-specific wavelength (756 nm), a response curve with a linear range of 0-200 μM was obtained. The limit of detection (1.18 μM) obtained with the proposed μTFADs was comparable to the results achieved with a conventional 96-well microplate assay (0.92 μM) and lower than that in the case of digital colour analysis-assisted filter paper spot tests (7.71 μM) or the absorbance analysis of refractive index-matched translucent filter paper spots (37.2 μM). In addition, highly selective Fe2+ detection has been achieved in the presence of potentially interfering metal ions (Cu2+, Co2+, Ni2+) without the use of any masking reagents, owing to the selection of the target complex-specific wavelength in the absorbance measurement on μTFADs.

Abstract
Although the determination of calcium ions (Ca2+) is of high importance to monitor water hardness, currently available devices for on-site analysis suffer from a lack of user-friendliness and sensitivity. This work demonstrates fully inkjet-printed and low-cost microfluidic paper-based analytical devices (μPADs) for the simple naked-eye colorimetric determination of calcium ions (Ca2+) in drinking and tap water samples. The quantification of Ca2+ relies on visual readout of the length of a colour-changed detection channel modified with ionophore-doped ion-selective optode nanospheres (nano-optodes), eliminating the requirement of a scanner or a camera. All fabrication steps for deposition of assay reagents have been performed by means of a simple desktop thermal inkjet printer, which is expected to contribute to highly batch-to-batch reproducible device preparation. The detectable Ca2+ concentrations between 0.05 mmol L-1 and 5 mmol L-1 cover the range recommended by the International Organization for Standardization (0.05-2.5 mmol L-1) and the World Health Organization (WHO) guideline for Ca2+ quantification in drinking water (less than 5 mmol L-1). The lowest concentration of Ca2+ detectable by the naked eye was found to be 0.05 mmol L-1, which is below the value achieved with previously reported paper-based devices. μPAD quantified Ca2+ concentrations in tap or drinking waters were within 15% error of the results obtained with a classical complexometric titration. Hence, distance-based μPADs relying on nano-optodes are sensitive and reproducible tools for equipment-free on-site assaying of Ca2+ in real samples.

A colorimetric paper-based analytical device coupled with hollow fiber membrane liquid phase microextraction (HF-LPME) for highly sensitive detection of hexavalent chromium in water samples. Talanta 2018; 190:78-84. [PMID: 30172544 DOI: 10.1016/j.talanta.2018.07.056] [Citation(s) in RCA: 51] [Impact Index Per Article: 8.5] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 07/03/2018] [Revised: 07/16/2018] [Accepted: 07/17/2018] [Indexed: 12/30/2022]
Abstract
A simple and highly sensitive procedure based on the combination of hollow fiber membrane liquid phase microextraction and a microfluidic paper-based analytical device (µPAD) was developed for pre-concentration and determination of hexavalent chromium in water samples. The hexavalent chromium was pre-concentrated using the HF-LPME technique via ion exchange or a coupled transport process through a supported ionic liquid (Aliquat 336) prior to colorimetric detection with diphenylcarbazide on the µPAD. The violet colour could be seen by the naked eye. Images from the µPADs were scanned using a commercial desktop scanner at 600 dpi resolution. ImageJ software was used for quantitative analysis by measuring the intensity values at green colour channel since it gave the best sensitivity among the RGB colour. Under optimal conditions, the calibration curve was linear in the range 10-90 µg L-1, with a limit of detection of 3 µg L-1. The developed method was successfully applied to determine the level of hexavalent chromium spiked into natural water samples at the parts-per-billion (ppb) level, and the results were in good agreement with those obtained using inductively coupled plasma atomic emission spectroscopy (ICP-AES). The developed method was able to improve the detection limit of the conventional µPAD, and was expected to be used for the effective analysis of hexavalent chromium in natural water.

Abstract
Due to its unique material properties, paper offers many practical advantages as a viable platform for sensing devices. In view of paper-based microfluidic biosensing applications, the covalent immobilization of enzymes with preserved functional activity is highly desirable and ultimately challenging. In the present manuscript, we report an efficient approach to achieving the covalent attachment of certain enzymes on paper fibers via a surface-bound network of hydrophilic polymers bearing protein-modifiable sites. This tailor-made macromolecular system consisting of polar, highly swellable copolymers is anchored to the paper exterior upon light-induced crosslinking of engineered benzophenone motifs. On the other hand, this framework contains active esters that can be efficiently modified by the nucleophiles of biomolecules. This strategy allowed the covalent immobilization of glucose oxidase and horseradish peroxidase onto cotton linters without sacrificing their bioactivities and performance upon surface binding. As a proof-of-concept application, a microfluidic chromatic paper-based glucose sensor was developed and achieved successful glucose detection in a simple yet efficient cascade reaction.

Abstract
Flexible biosensors represent an increasingly important and rapidly developing field of research. Flexible materials offer several advantages as supports of biosensing platforms in terms of flexibility, weight, conformability, portability, cost, disposability and scope for integration. On the other hand, electrochemical detection is perfectly suited to flexible biosensing devices. The present paper reviews the field of integrated electrochemical bionsensors fabricated on flexible materials (plastic, paper and textiles) which are used as functional base substrates. The vast majority of electrochemical flexible lab-on-a-chip (LOC) biosensing devices are based on plastic supports in a single or layered configuration. Among these, wearable devices are perhaps the ones that most vividly demonstrate the utility of the concept of flexible biosensors while diagnostic cards represent the state-of-the art in terms of integration and functionality. Another important type of flexible biosensors utilize paper as a functional support material enabling the fabrication of low-cost and disposable paper-based devices operating on the lateral flow, drop-casting or folding (origami) principles. Finally, textile-based biosensors are beginning to emerge enabling real-time measurements in the working environment or in wound care applications. This review is timely due to the significant advances that have taken place over the last few years in the area of LOC biosensors and aims to direct the readers to emerging trends in this field.

Abstract
An ultrasensitive paper based lateral flow assay is described for rapid and simultaneous fluorometric detection of several β-agonists including clenbuterol and its chemical analogues (mabuterol, brombuterol, cimaterol, cimbuterol, bromchlorbuterol and banbuterol). A nonspecific monoclonal antibody (mAb) against clenbuterol and its analogues was prepared and employed in a competitive immunoassay where mAb conjugated to fluorescent nanoparticles and free β-agonists compete for the binding sites. This enables rapid screening for the 7 β-agonists in a single run that takes about 8 min. Detection limits for the seven β-agonists are <50 pg g−1 of pork. Recoveries ranged from 69.5% to 102.4%, and relative standard deviations were ±15%. The assay was applied to the analysis of both using spiked and unspiked pork for β-agonists, and the results compare well to those obtained by HPLC-MS. Schematic presentation of an ultra sensitive fluorescent nanoparticle based paper based assay for rapid detection of multi β-agonists in pork tissue. ![]()

Abstract
The authors report that cobalt oxyhydroxide (CoOOH) nanoflakes possess intrinsic oxidizing ability to directly oxidize 3,3',5,5'-tetramethylbenzidine (TMB) to form a blue colored product (oxTMB) even in the absence of H2O2 and oxygen. In the presence of ascorbic acid (AA), less of the blue product is formed because AA reduces oxTMB. These findings constitute a new scheme for colorimetric detection of AA. Absorbance, best measured at 652 nm, linearly drops in the 10 nM to 1 μM AA concentration range, and the limit of detection is 5 nM (at an S/N ratio of 3). The reaction is complete within <5 s and highly selective. A strip test has been designed for fast and on-spot visual detection of AA. The method was applied to the direct estimation of AA in the microdialysate of brain, and also in soft drink samples. The strip test is considered to be a promising tool for the rapid screening of AA in brain and commercial samples. Graphic abstract Schematic of the CoOOH-TMB colorimetric system that exhibits a high selectivity for ascorbic acid (AA). A strip test has been designed for fast and on-spot visual detection of AA.
