Integrated Printed Microfluidic Biosensors (original) (raw)

Integrated printed microfluidic biosensors are one of the most recent point-of-care sensor developments. Fast turnaround time for production and ease of customization, enabled by the integration of recognition elements and transducers, are key for onsite biosensing for both healthcare and industry and for speeding up translation to reallife applications. This review gives an overview of recent progress in printed microfluidics, from the two-dimensional to the four-dimensional level, accompanied by novel sensing element integration. The latest trends in integrated printed microfluidics for healthcare, especially point-of-care diagnostics, and food safety applications are also explored.
