Abstract |
Paper-based analytical devices (${mu}PAD$) are highly advantageous for portable diagnostic systems owing to their low costs and ease of use. ${mu}PADs$ are considered as the best candidates for realizing the World Health Organization (WHO) ASSURED criteria: affordable, sensitive, specific, user-friendly, rapid and robust, equipment-free, and deliverable to end users. However, they have several limitations such as low sensitivity and accuracy. This article reports a mini review for a micro-fluidic paper-based analytical devices (${mu}PAD$), especially for addressing low sensitivity and accuracy issues. |
