Assessing the Relevance of Protein Immobilization for the Rational Design of Paper-Based Analytical Devices

An essential step to improve clinical outcomes entails developing new methods for monitoring biomarkers. Although specialized laboratories in metropolitan areas can provide such services, there is a need to develop low-cost, point-of-care (POC) diagnostic devices to complete general screening tasks. Existing POC assays largely rely on slower, more costly methods that are difficult to implement…
