SYSTEM AND METHOD FOR CHEMICALLY PATTERNED PAPER MICROFLUIDIC DEVICES

摘要

Disclosed is a device and method for forming a chemically patterned paper microfluidic device (cPMD) having controllable hydrophobic regions for purposes of providing a repeatable and versatile production with no temperature limitations similar or expensive printers, enabling point of care sensor devices. The disclosed invention comprises multilayer capability, including the ability for various biomolecules to be immobilized with charge interaction. The paper-based microfluidic platform as disclosed repeatable, versatile, cost effective, and allows for the creation of complex channels using the settling time calculated from calibration results. The disclosed system supports a wide variety of scenarios for testing, diagnostics and drug delivery, and related products and services.
