Produktbeschreibung

Point-of-care testing devices for early detection, screening and diagnosis have been proven to significantly improve patient survival rates and quality of life, as well as to significantly reduce the cost and complexity of disease treatment. This has proven to be particularly applicable to appropriate environments within low-income and developing nations. Consequently, paper-based diagnostic tools have gained significant popularity due to their extraordinary properties and their utility in various domains. From a biomedical standpoint, paper-based biosensor assays are used for the qualitative and quantitative detection of a wide variety of antigens, antibodies, DNA, RNA, miRNA.

Providing a timely update on the current understanding of paper-based biosensors, this book aims to deal with the current state-of-the-art of paper-based biosensors technology and addresses its future prospects for the detection of infectious diseases, with particular relevance and applications for low-income and developing countries. Owing to the advantages offered by paper-based biosensors, such as low-cost platforms for fast and easy detection of a biomarker in the field of clinical diagnostics, this book focuses on the design and fabrication strategies of paper-based devices for the detection of various biomolecules in biomedicine. This is further illustrated with the inclusion of specific case studies as applications within each appropriate chapter.

This comprehensive research and reference text would be suitable for researchers, scholars, and manufacturers in medical device design, biomaterials, bioengineering, materials science, nanobiotechnology, and biochemistry.
