Abstract

The growing demand of diagnostic tools with enhanced analytical characteristics in term of sensitivity, selectivity, and low response time has encouraged researches to conduct their research towards development of point-of-care (POC) biosensors. POC diagnostic devices are powerful tools for detection, diagnosis, and monitoring of diseases at its initial stage. The above characteristics encouraged us to conduct active multidisciplinary and collaborative research oriented towards the design and development of POC sensing systems. Here, we present a brief overview of our recent achievement in the field of biomedical POC devices implemented in paper based microfluidic and screen printing electrodes and discuss the critical limitations that need to be surmounted to facilitate their translation into clinical practice in the future.
