Journal ArticleDOI

Sliding-strip microfluidic device enables ELISA on paper

TL;DR: 3D microfluidic paper-based analytical device that can be used to conduct an enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay (ELISA) has the technical characteristics to be employed as a pre-screening tool, when combined with other data such as patient history and clinical signs.
Journal ArticleDOI

Broadly Available Imaging Devices Enable High-Quality Low-Cost Photometry

TL;DR: This paper demonstrates that, for applications in resource-limited environments, expensive microplate spectrophotometers that are used in many central laboratories for parallel measurement of absorbance of samples can be replaced by photometers based on inexpensive and ubiquitous, consumer electronic devices.
Journal ArticleDOI

Density-based separation in multiphase systems provides a simple method to identify sickle cell disease

TL;DR: A density-based separation of red blood cells in a system of aqueous multiphase polymers that enables a visual test that identifies sickle cell disease, starting from samples of whole blood, in less than 12 min is demonstrated.
Journal ArticleDOI

Composite ferromagnetic photoresist for the fabrication of microelectromechanical systems

TL;DR: By controlling the ratio of nitrogen to oxygen in the source gas as used in the CVD method, the ultimate nitrogen, carbon and fluorine concentrations in the film can be controlled and hence the dielectric constant of the film so produced is controlled.
