TL;DR: For the first time, a self-sufficient lab-on-a-foil system for the fully automated analysis of nucleic acids which is based on the recently available isothermal recombinase polymerase amplification (RPA) is demonstrated and excels existing PCR based lab- on- a-chip platforms in terms of energy efficiency and time-to-result.

TL;DR: The critical review of the state of Lab-on-a-Foil applications with a special focus on nucleic acid analysis, immunoassays, cell-based assays and home care testing concludes that the Lab- on-a -Foil approach is very versatile and significantly expands the toolbox for the development of Lab -on- a-Chip solutions.

TL;DR: In this article, fuel cells are used for a large variety of applications as efficient and clean power generators, and they offer advantages like variable geometry, high storage capacity, no self discharge and the potential for low production costs which make them interesting candidates for an environmentally friendly energy source.

TL;DR: In this paper, a cost-efficient process chain for fast tooling and small-lot replication of high-quality, multi-scale microfluidic polymer chips within less than 5 days is presented.

TL;DR: A novel process flow enabling prototyping of microfluidic cartridges made out of polymer films is presented, enabling efficient thermocycling during real-time polymerase chain reaction (PCR) and demonstrates new opportunities for both microfluidity developments and well-established laboratory instruments.
