Abstract

Paper has been used in analytical applications ranging from diagnostics to environmental monitoring. In 2007, Martinez et al. introduced the first microfluidics paper-based analytical device (μPAD). They patterned the paper with a hydrophobic reagent to form hydrophilic channels for transporting liquid samples from an inlet to a specific reaction area for diagnosis. To achieve an automatic sequential multistep assay on the μPAD, the control of the speed of wicking fluid in a paper is very important. In this chapter, we focus on new fabrication techniques and novel materials for paper-based devices with controllable wicking speeds.
