1. A microfluidic device comprising:
(a) a layered substrate comprising:
(i) a base substrate made from paper;(ii) an array of electrodes on the base substrate, wherein an electrode in the array of electrodes is formed by an electrically conductive element comprising a conductive ink layer on the base substrate; and(iii) a dielectric layer atop the array of electrodes; and (b) a second substrate separated from the layered substrate to provide a gap between the layered substrate and the second substrate.
