Electrochemical Paper-Based Analytical Devices for Clinical and Environmental DiagnosticsTuesday, 29 September 2015 at 17:00 Add to Calendar ▼2015-09-29 17:00:002015-09-29 18:00:00Europe/LondonElectrochemical Paper-Based Analytical Devices for Clinical and Environmental DiagnosticsLab-on-a-Chip, Microfluidics and Microarrays World Congress in San Diego, California, USASan Diego, California, USASELECTBIOenquiries@selectbiosciences.com One major push in the field of sensor development is production of very cheap and easy to use sensors that require minimal external equipment. Microfluidic Paper-based Analytical Devices (mPADs) have received significant attention in this field because they are cheap (costing pennies per device), easy to use, and can carry out a wide range of chemical assays. Detection with these devices is normally done with colorimetric method but these methods can be limited in sensitivity and selectivity. This talk will focus on recent developments from the Henry laboratory using electrochemical paper-based analytical devices (ePADs) with applications in both environmental and clinical diagnostics. Specifically, analysis of heavy metals using nanoparticle-modified electrodes to assess occupational exposure will be discussed. Similarly development of continuous flow ePADs using immunoassay methods for clinical biomarkers will be presented. |
