This paper presents a pressed paper-based dipstick that enables detection of foodborne
pathogens with multistep reactions by exploiting the delayed fluid flow and channel partition …

The early detection of pathogens plays a significant role in reducing fatalities and improving
prognosis. Laboratory tests such as the cell culture, polymerase chain reaction, and …

Lateral flow assays (LFAs) use capillary flow of liquids for simple detection of analytes. While
useful for spontaneously wicking samples, the capillary flow inherently limits performing …

Over the last 10 years, researchers have shown that paper is a promising substrate for
affordable biosensors. The field of paper-microfluidics has evolved rapidly in that time, with …

This paper proposes that the signal intensity of a lateral flow assay (LFA) strip can be
increased by pressing the top of the strip, effectively reducing its flow rate. The reduced flow …
