This editorial discusses the expanding role of paper as a platform on which to build new point-of-care assays, particularly those intended for use in resource-limited settings. Successful diagnostics for use in these environments require a low-cost platform (possibly paper) as well as new assay strategies, reagents and materials for achieving selectivity and sensitivity. Paper provides a common platform for bringing these components together and serves as a low-cost medium for prototyping new point-of-care assays.
这篇社论讨论了纸张作为平台的作用不断扩大，用于构建新的即时检测分析方法，特别是那些旨在用于资源有限环境下的检测分析方法。在这些环境中成功使用的诊断方法需要一个低成本的平台（可能是纸张），以及用于实现选择性和灵敏度的新分析方法策略、试剂和材料。纸张为将这些组件汇集在一起提供了一个通用平台，并为新的即时检测分析方法的原型设计提供了低成本的媒介。
