Abstract:
Paper-based microfluidic, as a rapid, low-cost and portable detection technology, has been widely used in many fields such as disease diagnosis, food safety and environmental monitoring, especially in laboratory medicine. Compared with conventional methods, paper-based microfluidic provides reliable support for rapid and immediate diagnosis of diseases due to its unique physical and chemical properties of test strips. Based on the construction scheme and result analysis strategy of paper-based microfluidic, this paper reviews its application in clinical detection of nucleic acid and protein, and looks forward to its potential opportunities and challenges in laboratory medicine.
