Integrated printed microfluidic biosensors are one of the most recent point-of-care (POC) sensor developments. Fast turnaround time for production and ease of customization, enabled by the integration of recognition elements and transducers, are key for on-site biosensing for both healthcare and industry and for speeding up translation to real-life applications. Here, we provide an overview of recent progress in printed microfluidics, from the 2D to the 4D level, accompanied by novel sensing element integration. We also explore the latest trends in integrated printed microfluidics for healthcare, especially POC diagnostics, and food safety applications.
集成印刷微流控生物传感器是最近的即时检测(POC)传感器发展之一。通过识别元件和传感器的集成,实现生产的快速周转和易于定制,是医疗保健和工业现场生物传感以及加速向实际应用转化的关键。在这里,我们提供了从 2D 到 4D 水平的印刷微流控技术的最新进展概述,同时还介绍了新型传感元件的集成。我们还探讨了集成印刷微流控技术在医疗保健,特别是即时诊断和食品安全应用中的最新趋势。
