Abstract
The microfluidic industry has evolved through years with acquired scientific knowledge from different, and already developed industries. Consequently, a wide range of materials like silicon from the electronic industry to all the way, silicone, from the chemical engineering industry, has been spotted to solve similar challenges. Although a typical microfluidic chip, fabricated from glass or polymer substrates offers definite benefits, however, paper-based microfluidic analytical devices (μPADs) possess numerous special benefits for practical implementation at a lower price. Owing to these features, in recent years, paper microfluidics has drawn immense interest from researchers in industry and academia alike. These devices have wider applications with advantages like lower cost, speedy detection, user-easiness, biocompatibility, sensitivity, and specificity etc. when compared to other microfluidic devices. Therefore, these sensitive but affordable devices fit themselves into point-of-care (POC) testing with features in demand like natural disposability, situational flexibility, and the capability to store and analyze the target at the point of requirement. Gradually, advancements in fabrication technologies, assay development techniques, and improved packaging capabilities, have contributed significantly to the real-time identification and health investigation through paper microfluidics; however, the growth has not been limited to the biomedical field; industries like electronics, energy storage and many more have expanded substantially. Here, we represent an overall state of the paper-based microfluidic technology by covering the fundamentals, working principles, different fabrication procedures, applications for various needs and then to make things more practical, the real-life scenario and practical challenges involved in launching a device into the market have been revealed. To conclude, recent contribution of μPADs in the 2020 pandemic and potential future possibilities have been reviewed.

Abstract
A protein corona will be formed on nanoparticles (NPs) entering a biological matrix, which can influence particles' subsequent behaviors inside the biological systems. For proteins bound stably to the NPs, they can exhibit different association/dissociation rates. The binding kinetics could affect interaction of the NPs with cell surface receptors and possibly contribute to the outcomes of NPs uptake. In the present study, a method to differentiate the corona proteins based on their relative dissociation rates from the NPs was developed, employing flow field-flow fraction (F4) in combination with centrifugation. The proteins bound to the superparamagnetic iron oxide NPs (SPION) present in an IgG/albumin depleted serum were isolated via collection of the SPIONs by either F4 or centrifugation. They were subsequently analyzed by LC-MS/MS and identified. Because the SPION-protein complexes injected to F4 dissociated continuously under the nonequilibrium separation condition, only the proteins with slow enough dissociation rates would be collected with the NPs in the eluent of F4. However, in centrifugation, proteins with good affinity to the SPIONs were collected regardless of the dissociation rates of the complexes. In both cases, the nonbinding ones were washed off. Capillary electrophoresis and circular dichroism were employed to verify the binding situations of a few SPION-protein interactions, confirming the effectiveness of our method. Our results support that our method can screen for proteins binding to NPs with fast on-and-off rates, which should be the ones quickly exchanging with the free matrix proteins when the NPs are exposed to a new biological media. Thus, our method will be useful for investigation of the temporal profile of protein corona and its evolution in biological matrices as well as for high-throughput analysis of the dynamic feature of protein corona related to particle properties.

Impact of carrier fluid composition on recovery of nanoparticles and proteins in flow field flow fractionation. J Chromatogr A 2012; 1264:72-9.

Abstract
Flow field flow fractionation (F4) is an invaluable separation tool for large analytes, including nanoparticles and biomolecule complexes. However, sample loss due to analyte-channel membrane interaction limits extensive usage of F4 at present, which could be strongly affected by the carrier fluid composition. This work studied the impacts of carrier fluid (CF) composition on nanoparticle (NP) recovery in F4, with focus on high ionic strength conditions. Successful analysis of NPs in a biomolecules-friendly environment could expand the applicability of F4 to the developing field of nanobiotechnology. Recovery of the unfunctionalized polystyrene NPs of 199, 102, and 45 nm in CFs with various pH (6.2, 7.4 and 8.2), increasing ionic strength (0-0.1M), and different types of co- and counter-ions, were investigated. Additionally, elution of the 85 nm carboxylate NPs and two proteins, human serum albumin (HSA) and immunoglobulin (IgG), at high ionic strengths (0-0.15M) was investigated. Our results suggested that (1) electrostatic repulsion between the negatively charged NPs and the regenerated cellulose membrane was the main force to avoid particle adsorption on the membrane; (2) larger particles experienced higher attractive force and thus were influenced more by variation in CF composition; and (3) buffers containing weak anions or NPs with weak anion as the surface functional groups provided higher tolerance to the increase in ionic strength, owing to more anions being trapped inside the NP porous structure. Protein adsorption onto the membrane was also briefly investigated in salted CFs, using HSA and IgG. We believe our findings could help to identify the basic carrier fluid composition for higher sample recovery in F4 analysis of nanoparticles in a protein-friendly environment, which will be useful for applying F4 in bioassays and in nanotoxicology studies.

Abstract
Protein-based liquid chromatography stationary phases are used in bioaffinity chromatography for studying drug-protein interactions, the determination of binding affinities, competitive and allosteric interactions, as well as for studying protein-protein interactions. This review addresses the development and characterization of protein-based stationary phase, and the application of these phases using frontal and zonal chromatography techniques. The approach will be illustrated using immobilized heat shock protein 90α and the immobilized estrogen related receptor stationary phases. In addition, the review discusses the use of the protein-coated magnetic beads for ligand and protein fishing as well as for the identification of unknown ligands from cellular or botanical extracts.

Abstract
An overview is given of the recent literature on (bio) analytical applications of flow field-flow fractionation (FlFFF). FlFFF is a liquid-phase separation technique that can separate macromolecules and particles according to size. The technique is increasingly used on a routine basis in a variety of application fields. In food analysis, FlFFF is applied to determine the molecular size distribution of starches and modified celluloses, or to study protein aggregation during food processing. In industrial analysis, it is applied for the characterization of polysaccharides that are used as thickeners and dispersing agents. In pharmaceutical and biomedical laboratories, FlFFF is used to monitor the refolding of recombinant proteins, to detect aggregates of antibodies, or to determine the size distribution of drug carrier particles. In environmental studies, FlFFF is used to characterize natural colloids in water streams, and especially to study trace metal distributions over colloidal particles. In this review, first a short discussion of the state of the art in instrumentation is given. Developments in the coupling of FlFFF to various detection modes are then highlighted. Finally, application studies are discussed and ordered according to the type of (bio) macromolecules or bioparticles that are fractionated.
