  • FLUIDIC CONTROL ELEMENTS FOR SIGNAL READOUT ENHANCEMENT IN TWO-DIMENSIONAL PAPER NETWORKS (2DPN)
    Publication number: 20210285942
    Abstract: This invention relates to an improved version of paper-based analytical device and method for chromatographic chemical or immunoassays. Particularly, this present invention discloses a device and a method for reducing smears and improving sharpness and intensity of test sample readout for a multi-step chemical assay or immunoassay by introducing two additional elements, a time-delay pad (2) and a mixer (1), to the conventional two-dimensional paper network device (2DPN).
    Type: Application
    Filed: June 2, 2021
    Publication date: September 16, 2021
    Applicant: Purdue Research Foundation
    Inventors: Jacqueline Callihan Linnes, Laura Mae Jamicich, Elizabeth A. Phillips, Kristin M. Byers, Anna Bird
