Paper-Based Electrochemical Devices for the Pharmaceutical Field: State of the Art and Perspectives

“…In a recent review, Noviana et al (2019) summarized the fascinating and multi-step procedure to obtain ePADs, considering the fabrication of both sensor (e.g., screenprinting, inkjet-printing, stencil-printed, pencil/pen-drawn, and microwire electrodes) and microfluidic pattern (e.g., photolithography, wax printing).…”

“…Finally, in the last decades a strong interest arose on the exploitation of biopolymers in the design of (bio)sensors for pharmaceutical and biomedical sectors, mainly driven by low-cost applications. In particular, paper has shown several advantages (e.g., compatibility with biological samples, environmental sustainability, ease assembling, storage, and transport, and adaptability as support for printing technologies) that make it an ideal substrate in highly engineered diagnostic devices (Yetisen et al, 2013;Meredith et al, 2016;Lee et al, 2018;Noviana et al, 2019). This last requirement represents an important and urgent topic declared by the World Health Organization, which is particularly interested in biomedical research toward the design of sensitive, cost-effective equipmentfree diagnostic tools devoted to both developed and developing countries (Urdea et al, 2006).…”

Paper-based potentiometric sensing devices modified with chemically reduced graphene oxide (CRGO) for trace level determination of pholcodine (opiate derivative drug)

“…This is attributed to their self-pumping ability and utility for many different analytical measurements. 36 These types of devices when designed for electrochemical detection using small and portable electronics, the sensitivity and selectivity of the paper-devices can be improved over visual colorimetric detection without sacrificing portability. The importance of use paper in analytical applications lies in its characteristics of low-cost, thin, lightweight, flexible, compatible with a wide array of patterning methods, easily disposable, and generation of flow without external pumps.…”

Paper-Based Potentiometric Device for Rapid and Selective Determination of Salicylhydroxamate as a Urinary Struvite Stone Inhibitor

“…31,37−39 This can be explained by their self-pumping ability and suitability for different analytical methods. 40 The use of paper in the design of these analytical devices lies in its low cost, lightweight, flexible characteristics, compatibility with a wide range of patterning methods, and easily disposable flow generation without the need of external pumps. Due to all of these advantages of paper-based analytical devices, a significant growth of academic research has been seen in the past decade.…”

“…Recently, great attention has been paid towards paper-based analytical devices as a powerful tool for environmental monitoring and point-of-care (POC) testing. ,− This can be explained by their self-pumping ability and suitability for different analytical methods . The use of paper in the design of these analytical devices lies in its low cost, lightweight, flexible characteristics, compatibility with a wide range of patterning methods, and easily disposable flow generation without the need of external pumps.…”
