The field of paper-based microfluidics has experienced rapid growth over the past decade. Microfluidic paper-based analytical devices (μPADs), originally developed for point-of-care medical diagnostics in resource-limited settings, are now being applied in new areas, such as environmental analyses. Low-cost paper sensors show great promise for on-site environmental analysis; the theme of ongoing research complements existing instrumental techniques by providing high spatial and temporal resolution for environmental monitoring. This review highlights recent applications of μPADs for environmental analysis along with technical advances that may enable μPADs to be more widely implemented in field testing.
在过去十年中,基于纸的微流控领域经历了快速发展。微流控纸基分析装置(μPADs)最初是为资源有限环境下的即时医疗诊断而开发的,现在正应用于新的领域,如环境分析。低成本的纸质传感器在现场环境分析方面显示出巨大潜力;当前的研究主题通过为环境监测提供高空间和时间分辨率来补充现有的仪器技术。本综述重点介绍了μPADs在环境分析中的最新应用以及可能使μPADs在现场测试中更广泛应用的技术进展。
