Description
Xin Liu and nine co-workers wrote a 2025 review on paper-based microfluidic devices for fast testing outside the lab. Disease, pollution and food safety all need quick checks in the field. Classic methods are accurate but need big machines and trained staff. Paper devices wick fluids through printed channels instead.
The review traces how these devices are made and what papers suit them. Sensing methods and material choices get detailed treatment. Uses covered span medical diagnosis, water and air testing, and food checks. The authors weigh cost, ease and green credentials as key strengths. Open challenges and next steps close the survey.
