A review with 93 references describing various 3D printing approaches that have been used to create microfluidic devices containing electrodes for electrochemical detection. The use of 3D printing to fabricate microfluidic devices is a rapidly growing area. One significant research area is how to detect analytes in the devices for quantitation purposes. This review article is focused on methods used to integrate electrodes into the devices for electrochemical detection. The review is organized in terms of the methodology for integrating the electrode within the device. This includes (1) external coupling of traditional electrode materials with 3D printed devices; (2) printing conductive electrode materials as part of device printing; and (3) integrating traditional electrodes into the device as part of the print process. Example applications are given and some future directions are also outlined.
一篇综述，包含93篇参考文献，描述了用于制造含有用于电化学检测的电极的微流控装置的各种3D打印方法。使用3D打印制造微流控装置是一个快速发展的领域。一个重要的研究领域是如何在装置中检测分析物以进行定量分析。这篇综述文章聚焦于将电极集成到装置中以进行电化学检测所使用的方法。该综述按照将电极集成到装置中的方法进行组织。这包括：（1）传统电极材料与3D打印装置的外部耦合；（2）作为装置打印的一部分打印导电电极材料；以及（3）在打印过程中将传统电极作为装置的一部分进行集成。文中给出了示例应用，并概述了一些未来的发展方向。
