MICRO-FLUIDIC ELECTRONIC DEVICES AND METHOD FOR PRODUCING SUCH DEVICES

摘要

A micro-fluidic electronic device includes a micro-fluidic component and an electronic component formed on a sheet of paper. An electrically-active layer of the electronic component, such as a nano-material layer, interacts with a fluid sample deposited within a fluid reservoir of the component, and changes the electronic properties of the electronic component. This can be detected by passing an electrical signal through the electronic component. The micro-fluidic electronic device can be formed straightforwardly and inexpensively by printing or mold-casting.
