Diagnostic technology often relies on time intensive laboratory techniques such as pipetting. In an attempt to bring bench top assays to diagnostic cards, blisters with frangible seals have been used but have yielded questionable results.  New developments in blister technology make it possible to more closely imitate the pipetting process and as a result conduct successful rapid diagnostic testing.  In this lecture we will discuss the crucial factors for creating successful fluid on board devices using novel concepts in blister technology: determining placement of the blister, the introduction of air, and volume control.  We will also discuss the importance of creating effective packaging that protects blisters.
