Abstract
We modified the structural properties of paper and
applied inkjet printing to biofunctionalize paper in
order to fabricate inexpensive, sustainable and
disposable bioassays. We demonstrated a paper-based
immunoassay in which transport of fluids and particles,
amount of capturing antibodies, as well as the strength
of paper in aqueous conditions were controlled. This
research is conducted towards the development and design
of paper-based diagnostics in the fields of health,
well-being, and environmental POC diagnostics, where the
main focus is versatility, novel test formats with new
design opportunities and low-cost mass production.
