纸芯片微流控技术是一种新型微流控技术.相比于以玻璃、石英、高聚物等为基底的传统微流控芯片,纸芯片具有成本低、易操作、可携带、耗样量小等优点.该文介绍了纸芯片的发展及常用的制作方法,并举例说明了光度法、荧光法、化学发光及电化学发光法和电化学法在纸芯片检测中的应用;归纳了纸芯片技术在临床诊断、环境监控以及食品安全分析等方面的应用;最后对纸芯片微流控的应用前景进行了展望.
Paper-based microfluidics stand out as a new class of microfluidic technology, and present distinguishing features such as low cost, ease of use, portability, and low reagent consumption com- pared with the conventional mierofluidie devices. In this paper, the development of μPADs was first introduced, and the common fabrication techniques were presented. Then the methods for quantitative analysis on μPADs were summarized including colorimetry, fluorescence, chemiluminescence, electrochemiluminescence and electrochemistry with their applications in clinical diagnostics, environmental monitoring as well as food quality control. Finally, the potential and future outlooks of μPADs were discussed.
