  • First Online:
Paper-Based Medical Diagnostic Devices

Part of the book series: Bioanalysis ((BIOANALYSIS,volume 10))

Abstract

This chapter covers the fundamental theory related to paper-based microfluidics. A brief introduction of the field is presented followed by description of the physical and electrical properties of paper which play a key role in accurate prediction of flow rate. The theory related to fluid flow in paper is then described in detail and categorized into wet-out (Lucas-Washburn equation) and fully wetted (Darcy’s Law) flow for various boundary conditions, geometries, and external factors. Finally, the theory of electro-kinetics in paper is presented with electro-osmosis, electrophoresis, and electrowetting on a dielectric as potential techniques for fluid or particle manipulation in paper-based microfluidic devices.
