Abstract

Our team works on miniaturized tools, micro and nanotechnology with main emphasis on affordable clinical diagnostics using paper based microfluidic devices. My presentation will cover our work on various rapid and low-cost methods for in-situ synthesis of gold nanoparticles (GNPs) on a paper substrate for surface-enhanced Raman scattering (SERS) studies as well as simple yet efficient paper-based device for viscosity measurements.
