Special Issue Information
Dear colleagues,
Microfluidic paper-based analytical devices (μPADs) have already shown promising potential for use in diagnostics, environmental and food applications with the merits of sample-to-answer analysis at a low cost. Despite the advancement in μPADs technology, the manufacturing of devices that can fully address the ASSURED criteria still requires intensive research studies. In this Special Issue, we will focus on the recent progress and the importance of μPADs for screening a range of clinically relevant biomarkers, harmful chemical residues, biological hazards, and allergens in biospecimens, environmental samples, and food products, respectively, to systematically evaluate the strengths and weaknesses of this technology. Research articles constitute the backbone of this Special Issue, and there is room for many technical notes, reports and, review papers.
