Paper-based microfluidic devices have advanced significantly in recent years as they are affordable, automated with capillary action, portable, and biodegradable diagnostic platforms for a variety of health, environmental, and food quality applications. In terms of commercialization, however, paper-based microfluidics still have to overcome significant challenges to become an authentic point-of-care testing format with the advanced capabilities of analyte purification, multiplex analysis, quantification, and detection with high sensitivity and selectivity. Moreover, fluid flow manipulation for multistep integration, which involves valving and flow velocity control, is also a critical parameter to achieve high-performance devices. Considering these limitations, the aim of this review is to (i) comprehensively analyze the fabrication techniques of microfluidic paper-based analytical devices, (ii) provide a theoretical background and various methods for fluid flow manipulation, and iii) highlight the recent detection techniques developed for various applications, including their advantages and disadvantages.

“…Potassium iodide (i.e., KI) was one of the commonly used color indicators. HRP catalyzes the oxidation of iodide to iodine by hydrogen peroxide, leading to a change from colorless to a visual brown color [59,60,62,86,87,88,89,90,91]. Garcia et al [62] proposed a production method of μPAD using a handheld metal stamp (Figure 1).…”

Glucose, as an essential substance directly involved in metabolic processes, is closely related to the occurrence of various diseases such as glucose metabolism disorders and islet cell carcinoma. Therefore, it is crucial to develop sensitive, accurate, rapid, and cost effective methods for frequent and convenient detections of glucose. Microfluidic Paper-based Analytical Devices (μPADs) not only satisfying the above requirements but also occupying the advantages of portability and minimal sample consumption, have exhibited great potential in the field of glucose detection. This article reviews and summarizes the most recent improvements in glucose detection in two aspects of colorimetric and electrochemical μPADs. The progressive techniques for fabricating channels on μPADs are also emphasized in this article. With the growth of diabetes and other glucose indication diseases in the underdeveloped and developing countries, low-cost and reliably commercial μPADs for glucose detection will be in unprecedentedly demand.

“…In this work, the average pore diameter and the permeability of different papers were experimentally determined, and mechanics for fluid flow in each paper type was validated. Zhang and Zha created hydrophilic channels on qualitative filter paper using a patterned copper sheet covered with paraffin film. The copper sheet was then placed in contact with the paper surface, both were heated, and the paraffin from the copper sheet diffused through the porous paper to generate patterned hydrophobic walls.…”
