A simple strategy to rapidly detect glucose was developed by utilizing core (Fe3O4)–shell (Pt) magnetic nanoparticles (Fe3O4@Pt NPs) as a nanoenzyme and a paper-based colorimetric sensor. In the presence of H2O2, Fe3O4@Pt NPs catalyze the redox reaction of 3,3′,5,5′-tetramethylbenzidine (TMB) and generate a colour change from colourless to blue. On this basis, a colorimetric glucose sensing method assisted by glucose oxidase (GOx) was developed. Under the optimal conditions, the detection limits of the proposed assay for H2O2 and glucose were 0.36 µM and 1.27 µM, respectively. Furthermore, the fabricated colorimetric method was successfully applied to analyze glucose concentrations by using a paper device as a measuring platform without a spectrometer. In addition, this method exhibited satisfactory recovery for glucose detection in human serum samples and urine samples, which satisfied the requirements for normal detection of real samples. This study provides a good candidate for health monitoring of glucose and also expands the applications of nanoenzymes and paper-based colorimetric assays in point-of-care testing.

A dual-mode lab-on-paper device based on BiVO4/FeOOH nanocomposites as an efficient generating photoelectrochemical (PEC)/colorimetric signal reporter has been successfully constructed by integration of the lab-on-paper sensing platform and PEC/colorimetric detection technologies for sensitive detection of carcinoembryonic antigen (CEA). Concretely, the BiVO4/FeOOH nanocomposites were in situ synthesized onto the paper-working electrode (PWE) through hydrothermal synthesis of the BiVO4 layer on cellulose fibers (paper-based BiVO4) which were initially modified by Au nanoparticles for improving the conductivity of three dimensional PWE, and then the photo-electrodeposition of FeOOH onto the paper-based BiVO4 to construct the paper-based BiVO4/FeOOH for the portable dual-mode lab-on-paper device. The obtained nanocomposites with an FeOOH needle-like structure deposited on the BiVO4 layer exhibits enhanced PEC response activity due to its effective separation of the electron–hole pair which could further accelerate the PEC conversion efficiency during the sensing process. With the introduction of CEA targets onto the surface of nanocomposite-modified PWE assisted by the interaction with the CEA antibody from a specific recognition property, a signal-off PEC signal state with a remarkable photocurrent response decreasing trend can be achieved, realizing the quantitative detection of CEA with the PEC signal readout mode. By means of a smart origami paper folding, the colorimetric signal readout is achieved by catalyzing 3,3′,5,5′-tetramethylbenzidine (TMB) to generate blue oxidized TMB in the presence of H2O2 due to the satisfied enzyme-like catalytic activity of the needle-like structure, FeOOH, thereby achieving the dual-mode signal readout system for the proposed lab-on-paper device. Under the optimal conditions, the PEC and colorimetric signals measurement were effectively carried out, and the corresponding linear ranges were 0.001–200 ng·mL−1 and 0.5–100 ng·mL−1 separately, with the limit of detection of 0.0008 and 0.013 ng·mL−1 for each dual-mode. The prepared lab-on-paper device also presented a successful application in serum samples for the detection of CEA, providing a potential pathway for the sensitive detection of target biomarkers in clinical application.

Concretely, the BiVO4 /FeOOH nanocomposites were in situ synthesized onto the paper-working electrode (PWE) through hydrothermal synthesis of the BiVO4 layer on cellulose fibers (paper-based BiVO4 ) which were initially modified by Au nanoparticles for improving the conductivity of three dimensional PWE, and then the photo-electrodeposition of FeOOH onto the paper-based BiVO4 to construct the paper-based BiVO4 /FeOOH for the portable dual-mode lab-on-paper device.

In this work, indoxyl-glucoside was used as the substrate to develop a cost-effective, paper-based analytical device for the fluorescent and colorimetric dual-mode detection of β-glucosidase activity through a smartphone. The β-glucosidase can hydrolyze the colorless substrate indoxyl-glucoside to release indoxyl, which will be self-oxidized to generate green products in the presence of oxygen. Meanwhile, the green products emit bright blue-green fluorescence under ultraviolet–visible light irradiation at 365 nm. Fluorescent or colorimetric images were obtained by a smartphone, and the red-green-blue channels were analyzed by the Adobe Photoshop to quantify the β-glucosidase activity. Under the optimum conditions, the relative fluorescent and colorimetric signals have a good linear relationship with the activity of β-glucosidase, in the range of 0.01–1.00 U/mL and 0.25–5.00 U/mL, and the limits of detection are 0.005 U/mL and 0.0668 U/mL, respectively. The activities of β-glucosidase in a crude almond sample measured by the fluorescent and colorimetric methods were 23.62 ± 0.53 U/mL and 23.86 ± 0.25 U/mL, respectively. In addition, the spiked recoveries of normal human serum and crude almond samples were between 87.5% and 118.0%. In short, the paper-based device, combined with a smartphone, can provide a simple, environmentally friendly, and low-cost method for the fluorescent and colorimetric dual-mode detection of β-glucosidase activity.

The generation of DNase type I 3′OH DNA ends is closely related to the harm of endogenous reactive oxygen species (ROS) and environmental genotoxic agents. The evaluation of this type of DNA damage plays an important role in clinical intervention and environmental toxicity assessment. Terminal deoxynucleotidyl transferase (TdT)-assisted isothermal amplification (TAIA) offers a facile and versatile way to detect DNase type I 3′OH DNA ends. Its ability of templated-independent isothermal amplification is one unique feature. Here, we reported a paper-based analytical device (PAD) coupled with a smartphone for the detection of DNase type I 3′OH DNA ends using TAIA and colorimetric signal readout. We achieved the integration of cell lysis, DNA extraction, TAIA, horseradish peroxidase (HRP)-enabled colorimetric reaction, and signal readout. This device could achieve a limit of detection of 264 cells with a total assay time of less than 45 min. By combining PAD with a smartphone, the integrated platform could be used for the visual and quantitative analysis of DNA damages with the advantages of ease-to-use, fast response, inexpensive, and instrument free. Furthermore, successful assessment of the genotoxicity in wastewater effluents suggested the great promise of the integrated platform for on-site testing in practical applications.

A novel assay platform consisting of a microfluidic sliding double-track paper-based chip and a hand-held Raspberry Pi detection system is proposed for determining the albumin-to-creatine ratio (ACR) in human urine. It is a clinically important parameter and can be used for the early detection of related diseases, such as renal insufficiency. In the proposed method, the sliding layer of the microchip is applied and the sample diffuses through two parallel filtration channels to the reaction/detection areas of the microchip to complete the detection reaction, which is a simple method well suited for self-diagnosis of ACR index in human urine. The RGB (red, green, and blue) value intensity signals of the reaction complexes in these two reaction zones are analyzed by a Raspberry Pi computer to derive the ACR value (ALB and CRE concentrations). It is shown that the G + B value intensity signal is linearly related to the ALB and CRE concentrations with the correlation coefficients of R2 = 0.9919 and R2 = 0.9923, respectively. It is additionally shown that the ALB and CRE concentration results determined using the proposed method for 23 urine samples were collected from real suffering chronic kidney disease (CKD) patients are in fine agreement with those acquired operating a traditional high-reliability macroscale method. Overall, for point-of-care (POC) CKD diagnosis and monitoring in clinical applications, the results prove that the proposed method offers a convenient, real time, reliable, and low-spending solution for POC CKD diagnosis.

The paper-based device for allopurinol detection was developed by an enzymatic reaction. The concept is that allopurinol will act by blocking the xanthine oxidase enzyme to produce uric acid and H2O2, resulting in a color change from purple to pale purple until it is colorless. The concept was proofed by spectrophotometry and was applied in four types of filter paper including Whatman Qualitative No. 1, No. 4, and No. 6, and Whatman 1 chromatography. The application of this system was observed using ImageJ analysis. The performance of the paper reveals that each Whatman has different characteristics with LOD and LOQ range were 1.62-2.24 ppm and 4.91-6.80 ppm, respectively. The stability study shows that all of the paper was stable for 3 days both at room temperature (around 24°C-26°C) and 4°C. The presence of another drug like paracetamol did not prevent allopurinol detection. The real traditional medicine sample was also analyzed to confirm the applicability of this paper, and the result showed good agreement with spectrophotometry data. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

- Abstract
Rapid and sensitive detection of tetracycline (TC) in the aquatic environment is important for the environmental ecosystem and human health. Herein, we presented on the first attempt to construct a fast‐responding gating system by using horseradish peroxidase (HRP)‐loaded functional RNA superstructures (HRP@3D RNA). Proteins were directly loaded into 3D RNA by the rolling circle transcription (RCT) reaction. We found that the specificity of aptamer‐ligand interaction could serve as a triggered manner to release the loaded HRP from 3D RNA. The above general scheme showed a few minutes of rapid release kinetics. According to the controlled‐release mechanism, we designed a disposable origami paper‐based analytical device (doPAD) coupled with HRP@3D RNA for colorimetric detection of TC. This doPAD can realize target recognition and signal readout by taking advantage of the unique spatial control advantages of 3D origami, thus generating a signal of color change that is positively related to the concentration of TC. This doPAD achieved the quantitative analysis of TC with a limit of detection of 10 nM within 41 min. We envision that the platform will be widely used in the field of environmental monitoring and biosensing. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

Rapid and sensitive detection of acrylamide in food samples is important for food safety and public health. Here, we describe a disposable origami paper-based analytical device (denoted doPAD) for colorimetric detection of acrylamide. This device uniquely exploits 3D origami folding paper for spatial control of the target recognition and signal readout, thus resulting in a positive correlation between the signals and the analytes. Under optimal conditions, the device achieved the quantitative analysis of acrylamide with a limit of detection of 1.13 μg/L within 120 min (including a derivatization time of 90 min and an assay time of 21 min). Furthermore, our method allowed the rapid and sensitive detection of acrylamide in complex food matrices. We envision that the platform described will find useful applications in the fields of food safety and environmental health.

vapor detection ,formaldehyde ,colorimetric ,paper-based sensor ,hydroxylamine ,Biochemistry ,QD415-436 - Abstract
We report on a novel colorimetric sensor system for highly sensitive detection of formaldehyde (FA) in the gas phase. The sensor is constructed with paper towel as a substrate coated with the sulfuric acid salt of hydroxylamine ((NH2OH)2·H2SO4) together with two pH indicators, bromophenol blue and thymol blue. Upon exposure to FA, the hydroxylamine will react with the absorbed FA to form a Schiff base (H2C=N-OH), thus releasing a stoichiometric amount of sulfuric acid, which in turn induces a color change of the pH indicator. Such a color change was significantly enriched by incorporating two pH indicators in the system. With the optimized molar ratio of the two pH indicators, the color change (from brown to yellow, and to red) could become so dramatic as to be visible to the eye depending on the concentration of FA. In particular, under 80 ppb of FA (the air quality threshold set by WHO) the color of the sensor substrate changes from brown to yellow, which can even be envisioned clearly by the naked eyes. By using a color reader, the observed color change can be measured quantitatively as a function of the vapor concentration of FA, which produces a linear relationship as fitted with the data points. This helps estimate the limit of detection (LOD), to be 10 ppb under an exposure time of 10 min, which is much lower than the air quality threshold set by WHO. The reported sensor also demonstrates high selectivity towards FA with no color change observed when exposed to other common chemicals, including solvents and volatile organic compounds. With its high sensitivity and selectivity, the proposed paper-based colorimetric sensor thus developed can potentially be employed as a low-cost and disposable detection kit that may find broad application in detecting FA in indoor air and many other environments.

Microfluidic paper-based analytical devices are emerging as promising options for on-the-spot detection of chemical contaminants in water. The coupling of these devices with digital imaging technology has attracted immense interest in developing portable sensor applications. However, the potential of digital techniques still remains to be fully explored. In this work, we integrate digital imaging with microfluidic paper-based analytical devices to develop a portable colorimetric assay for iron. The experimental conditions are optimised using image analysis and the effects of imaging equipment and colorimetric analysis methods on the readout of devices are studied using numerical, graphical and statistical techniques. The experimental results are obtained for the estimation of iron contamination in water samples using a colorimetric assay based on iron (III)-thiocyanate reaction. The digital image acquisition approach using smartphone as imaging equipment is adopted for on-the-spot colorimetric data collection. Image processing techniques are employed to estimate the iron concentration in water from digital images. Greyscale colour intensity obtained from a digital image is identified as a readout of the analytical device and employed for quantitative assessment. The limit of detection for iron is estimated to be 0.26 ppm. The microfluidic approach offers good recovery and repeatability with relative standard deviation of 1.4%. The maximum percentage difference for intensities between the image analysis methods is 4.94% and that between the imaging equipment is 9.96%. The gradients of regression lines for pairwise equipment and method outputs with zero intercept range from 0.9931 to 1.0162 with high values of coefficients of determination. The correlation coefficient values for various paired comparisons (>0.99) suggest strong agreement. Statistical test results suggest no significant differences between methods and between imaging equipment (significance level 0.05). The findings suggest the efficacy of digital imaging and colorimetric analysis for paper-based analytical devices. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

The detection of iodide ions (I
− ), despite challenges due to low concentrations and potential masking, is crucial for studying physiological processes and diagnosing diseases. A colorimetric sensor was developed to improve I− ion monitoring and facilitate on-site detection based on filter paper, which is a cost-effective platform. The sensor observed color changes in response to the exposure of hydrogen peroxide (H2 O2 ), 3,3′,5,5′-tetramethylbenzidine (TMB), from colorless to yellowish brown. The sensor demonstrated a detection limit of 0.125 × 10−6 M for I− ions in a relatively wide range of 0.01 to 15 × 10−6 M under optimized conditions including gel concentration, temperature, incubation time, TMB and H2 O2 concentration, and pH. Furthermore, the proposed sensor was successfully employed in a variety of applications, such as biological (urine and blood serum), food (egg yolk and snacks), and environmental samples (tap water). The study established effective recoveries in complex media for visual on-site I− ion monitoring, indicating the developed assay as a potent, affordable, and practical platform.

Paper-based microfluidic analysis devices (μPADs) have attracted attention as a cost-effective platform for point-of-care testing (POCT), food safety, and environmental monitoring. Recently, three-dimensional (3D)-μPADs have been developed to improve the performance of μPADs. For accurate diagnosis of diseases, however, 3D-μPADs need to be developed to simultaneously detect multiple biomarkers. Here, we report a 3D-μPADs platform for the detection of multiple biomarkers that can be analyzed and diagnosed with a smartphone. The 3D-μPADs were fabricated using a 3D digital light processing printer and consisted of a sample reservoir (300 µL) connected to 24 detection zones (of 4 mm in diameter) through eight microchannels (of 2 mm in width). With the smartphone application, eight different biomarkers related to various diseases were detectable in concentrations ranging from normal to abnormal conditions: glucose (0–20 mmol/L), cholesterol (0–10 mmol/L), albumin (0–7 g/dL), alkaline phosphatase (0–800 U/L), creatinine (0–500 µmol/L), aspartate aminotransferase (0–800 U/L), alanine aminotransferase (0–1000 U/L), and urea nitrogen (0–7.2 mmol/L). These results suggest that 3D-µPADs can be used as a POCT platform for simultaneous detection of multiple biomarkers.

[Display omitted] • MB-functionalized AuNPs was prepared to use as a colormetric sensor for As(V) • AuNPs@MB showed excellent selectivity for As(V) among 16 cations and 5 anions. • AuNPs@MB-0.9 and −1.1 were employed at low (0–30 ppb) and high (1–100 ppb) of As(V) • A paper-based colorimetric sensor was also same selectivity of As(V) with AuNPs@MB. Paper-strip-type methylene blue (MB)-functionalized gold nanoparticles (AuNPs@MB) were developed and tested as colorimetric sensors for arsenic in this study. The valence state of arsenic speciation was pH-dependent, with arsenate (As(V)) exhibiting the HAsO 4
2– form over the pH range of 7–11. When exposed to arsenic ions, AuNPs@MB exhibited significant agglomeration between nanoparticles via an ion-pairing mechanism between MB+ and As(V), resulting in a color shift from red to blue. The amount of MB loading on the AuNPs and the pH were adjusted to optimize the colorimetric sensing efficiency. AuNPs@MB-0.9 and AuNPs@MB-1.1 were employed as colorimetric sensors at low (0–30 ppb) and high (1–100 ppb) concentrations of As(V), respectively. To confirm the feasibility of using the AuNPs@MB sensor for As(V) detection, a selectivity test was conducted in the presence of 16 cations and 5 anions. This test demonstrated the practicality of the AuNPs@MB sensor for As(V) and showed that AuNPs@MB had a very high selectivity for As(V) compared to other cations and anions. Further, a solid-state colorimetric sensor based on a cellulose paper strip was developed for arsenic detection. The results of the paper-based colorimetric sensor with AuNPs@MB were the same as those of the solution-based colorimetric sensor. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]- Published

Detection of haloalkanes is of great industrial and scientific importance because some haloalkanes are found serious biological and atmospheric issues. The development of a flexible, wearable sensing device for haloalkane assays is highly desired. Here, we develop a paper-based microfluidic sensor to achieve low-cost, high-throughput, and convenient detection of haloalkanes using perovskite nanocrystals as a nanoprobe through anion exchanging. We demonstrate that the CsPbX3 (X = Cl, Br, or I) nanocrystals are selectively and sensitively in response to haloalkanes (CH2Cl2, CH2Br2), and their concentrations can be determined as a function of photoluminescence spectral shifts of perovskite nanocrystals. In particular, an addition of nucleophilic trialkyl phosphines (TOP) or a UV-photon-induced electron transfer from CsPbX3 nanocrystals is responsible for achieving fast sensing of haloalkanes. We further fabricate a paper-based multichannel microfluidic sensor to implement fast colorimetric assays of CH2Cl2 and CH2Br2. We also demonstrate a direct experimental observation on chemical kinetics of anion exchanging in lead-halide perovskite nanocrystals using a slow solvent diffusion strategy. Our studies may offer an opportunity to develop flexible, wearable microfluidic sensors for haloalkane sensing, and advance the in-depth fundamental understanding of the physical origin of anion-exchanged nanocrystals.

Rapid detection of pathogenic bacteria is extremely important for public health and safety. Here, we describe for the first time an integrated origami paper-based analytical device (PAD) incorporating cell lysis, molecular recognition, amplification and visual detection of Escherichia coli (E. coli). The device features three components: paper for its ability to extract protein molecules nonspecifically from cells, DNA superstructures for their ability to immobilize RNA-cleaving DNAzymes (RCDs) but undergo target-induced RNA cleavage on paper, and isothermal rolling circle amplification (RCA) for its ability to amplify each cleavage event into repetitive sequence units that can be detected by naked eye. This device can achieve detection of E. coli K12 with a detection limit of as low as 103 CFU·mL−1 in a total turnaround time of 35 min. Furthermore, this device allowed the sensitive detection of E. coli in complex sample matrices such as juice and milk. Given that more specific RCDs can be evolved for diverse bacteria, the integrated PAD holds great potential for rapid, sensitive and highly selective detection of pathogenic bacteria in resource-limited settings.

This work reports the development of low-cost and rapid multiplexed colorimetric assay of antioxidants (total phenolics, antioxidant capacity, flavonoids and anthocyanins) in wines at daisy-shaped fluidic paper-based analytical devices (PADs). The desired fluidic patterns were formed on paper by pen drawing and colorimetric reagents were immobilized at the 6 peripheral test zones. The sample was added at the central sample zone, migrated to the test zones and reacted with the immobilized reagents producing characteristic colors that were captured and analyzed. The paper-based approach was applied to the analysis of several wine samples and the results were statistically correlated to standard solution-based colorimetric assays, indicating that it could be reliably used for ranking wines according to their antioxidants content. In addition, the paper-based analytical methodology is simple, instrument-free, portable, cost-effective, rapid and environment friendly. [Display omitted] • Daisy-shaped paper-based analytical devices (PADs) were fabricated by pen drawing. • The PADs were used for a sextuple antioxidant/phenolics/anthocyanins/flavonoids assay. • Reagents were added to the 6 peripheral test zones and sample was added to the central sample zone. • The results of the assay for 18 wines correlated well with those of solution-based assays (R2 > 0.97). • The paper-based analytical methodology is simple, instrument-free, portable, cost-effective, rapid and environment friendly.

The monitoring of foodborne bacterial contamination requires simple and convenient biosensors. This work describes a novel paper-based colorimetric biosensor for the rapid and sensitive bacteria detection. The biosensor was constructed via the encapsulation of D-alanyl-D-alanine capped gold nanoparticles (DADA-AuNPs) in a modified paper that was fabricated by the freeze-drying of TEMPO-oxidized cellulose nanofibers/cationic guar gum composite hydrogel-modified filter paper. The results indicated that the size of DADA-AuNPs largely determined the color of their aqueous system and they exhibited light red to dark red as their size increased from around 6 to 36 nm. All these different sized DADA-AuNPs turned into colorless when encountered with either S. aureus or E. coli. In particular, the smaller the DADA-AuNPs size, the faster the discoloration. The encapsulation of DADA-AuNPs into modified paper negligibly changed their responsiveness towards bacteria. In comparison to the original filter paper and oven-dried hydrogel-modified filter paper, the freeze-dried hydrogel-modified paper was demonstrated to be a better substrate for the encapsulation of DADA-AuNPs since they could be loaded with a larger amount of DADA-AuNPs in a faster way and showed a better perceivable color. This work demonstrated a promising paper-based colorimetric biosensor for the facile and rapid detection of bacteria. [Display omitted] [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

In this work, indoxyl-glucoside was used as the substrate to develop a cost-effective, paper-based analytical device for the fluorescent and colorimetric dual-mode detection of β-glucosidase activity through a smartphone. The β-glucosidase can hydrolyze the colorless substrate indoxyl-glucoside to release indoxyl, which will be self-oxidized to generate green products in the presence of oxygen. Meanwhile, the green products emit bright blue-green fluorescence under ultraviolet–visible light irradiation at 365 nm. Fluorescent or colorimetric images were obtained by a smartphone, and the red-green-blue channels were analyzed by the Adobe Photoshop to quantify the β-glucosidase activity. Under the optimum conditions, the relative fluorescent and colorimetric signals have a good linear relationship with the activity of β-glucosidase, in the range of 0.01–1.00 U/mL and 0.25–5.00 U/mL, and the limits of detection are 0.005 U/mL and 0.0668 U/mL, respectively. The activities of β-glucosidase in a crude almond sample measured by the fluorescent and colorimetric methods were 23.62 ± 0.53 U/mL and 23.86 ± 0.25 U/mL, respectively. In addition, the spiked recoveries of normal human serum and crude almond samples were between 87.5% and 118.0%. In short, the paper-based device, combined with a smartphone, can provide a simple, environmentally friendly, and low-cost method for the fluorescent and colorimetric dual-mode detection of β-glucosidase activity.

The metal-organic frameworks (MOFs) nanozyme-mediated paper-based analytical devices (PADs) have shown great potential in portable visual determination of phenolic compounds in the environment. However, most MOF nanozymes suffer from poor dispersibility and block-like structure, which often prompts deposition and results in diminished enzymatic activity, severely hindering their environmental applications. Here, we proposed colorimetric PADs for the visual detection of dichlorophen (Dcp) based on its significant inhibitory effect on the two-dimensional (2D) MOF nanozyme activity. Specifically, we synthesized a 2D Cu TCPP (Fe) (defined as 2D-CTF) MOF nanozyme exhibiting excellent dispersibility and remarkable peroxidase-like (POD-like) activity, which could catalyze the oxidation and subsequent color change of 3,3′,5,5′-tetramethylbenzidine even under neutral conditions. Notably, the POD-like activity of 2D-CTF demonstrated a unique response to Dcp because of the occupation of Fe–N 4 active sites on the 2D-CTF. This property enables the use of 2D-CTF as a highly efficient catalyst to develop colorimetric PADs for naked-eye and portable detection of Dcp. We believe that the proposed colorimetric PADs offer an efficient method for Dcp assay and open fresh avenues for the advancement of colorimetric sensors for analyzing of phenolic toxic substances in real samples.

A dual colorimetric/electrochemical sensor integrated with a microfluidic paper-based analytical device (μPAD) is created for rapid and sensitive detection of cabaryl in fruit. For colorimetric sensor, quercetin modified silver nanoparticle (QCT-AgNPs) is synthesized via self-reduction, resulting in the color change from green to dark green in the presence of cabaryl, which can be readily observed via naked eyes. This colorimetric sensor provides a linear response of 5 – 50 μM quantified by Image J software. For electrochemistry, AgNPs/MXene nanocomposite electrode offers high electrocatalytic activity towards the detection of carbarly with a linear range of 0 – 60 µM and a detection limit of 0.01 µM. The limit of detection values obtained from this dual sensor are lower than a cut-off of carbaryl residue in food, which is 7 mg.kg−1 (35 µM) verifying the desired sensitivity of this platform. Ultimately, this dual sensor is successfully applied for on-site detection of carbaryl in the orange samples read out on the smartphone with satisfactory results. [Display omitted] • Dual colorimetric/electrochemicl sensor is developed on μPAD for cabaryl sensor • QCT-AgNPs is synthesized by self-reduction and applied for colorimetric detection. • AgNPs/MXene modified electrode provided high electrochemical sensitivity. • This platform is applied for on-site carbaryl detection in fruits on smartphone.

A dip-and-read microfluidic paper-based analytical device (µPAD) was developed for the qualitative and quantitative detection of the total hardness of water. To create well-defined hydrophobic barriers on filter paper, a regular office printer and a commercially available permanent marker pen were utilized as a quick and simple technique with easily accessible equipment/materials to fabricate µPAD in new or resource-limited laboratories without sophisticated equipment. After a wettability and barrier efficiency analysis on the permanent marker colors, the blue and green ink markers exhibited favorable hydrophobic properties and were utilized in the fabrication of the developed test devices. The device had five reaction and detection zones modeled after the classification given by the World Health Organization (WHO), so qualitatively it determined whether the water was ‘soft’, ‘moderately hard’, ‘hard’, or ‘very hard’ by changing color from blue to pink in about 3 min. The device was also used to introduce an alternative colorimetric reaction for quantitative analysis of the water hardness without the need for ethylenediaminetetraacetic acid (EDTA) and without compromising the simplicity and low cost of the device. The developed µPAD showed a calculated limit of detection (LOD) of 0.02 mM, which is at least 80% less than those of commercially available test strips and other reported µPADs, and the results of the real-world samples were consistent with those of the standard titration (with EDTA). In addition, the device exhibited stability for 2 months at room and frigid condition (4 °C) and at varying harsh temperatures from 25 to 100 °C. The results demonstrate that the developed paper-based device can be used for rapid, on-site analysis of water with no interferences and no need for a pipette for sample introduction during testing.

Due to its properties, paper represents an alternative to perform point-of-care tests for colorimetric determination of glucose levels, providing simple, rapid, and inexpensive means of diagnosis. In this work, we report the development of a novel, rapid, disposable, inexpensive, enzyme-free, and colorimetric paper-based assay for glucose level determination. This sensing strategy is based on the synthesis of gold nanoparticles (AuNPs) by reduction of a gold salt precursor, in which glucose acts simultaneously as reducing and capping agent. This leads to a direct measurement of glucose without any enzymes or depending on the detection of intermediate products as in conventional enzymatic colorimetric methods. Firstly, we modelled the synthesis reaction of AuNPs to determine the optical, morphological, and kinetic properties and their manipulation for glucose sensing, by determining the influence of each of the reaction precursors towards the produced AuNPs, providing a guide for the manipulation of nucleation and growth. The adaptation of this synthesis into the developed paper platform was tested and calibrated using different standard solutions with physiological concentrations of glucose. The response of the colorimetric signals obtained with this paper-based platform showed a linear behavior until 20 mM, required for glycemic control in diabetes, using the Red × Value/Grey feature combination as a calibration metric, to describe the variations in color intensity and hue in the spot test zone. The colorimetric sensor revealed a detection limit of 0.65 mM, depending on calibration metric and sensitivity of 0.013 AU/mM for a linear sensitivity range from 1.25 to 20 mM, with high specificity for the determination of glucose in complex standards with other common reducing interferents and human serum.

An ammonium chloride–Congo red (NH4Cl-CR) solution is presented as a potential sensing solution for aldehydes. Monofunctional aldehydes such as formaldehyde, acetaldehyde, benzaldehyde, and isobutyraldehyde caused changes in the pH of the sensing solution, producing a color transition from red-orange to violet to blue. This distinguished them from the other compounds, thereby acting as a qualitative test for the functional group. The NH4Cl-CR solution was also employed in making filter paper-based and silica gel-based sensors for formaldehyde and acetaldehyde vapors. These sensors responded positively towards the aldehyde gases through a color transition from pink to blue. The NH4Cl-CR mixture provides a simple and easy-to-handle reagent for the detection of both liquid and gaseous aldehydes which has potential applications in environmental monitoring.

[Display omitted] • A dual-optical method for 2,4-D detection is developed. • oxTMB-mediated colorimetric and ratiometric fluorescent assay was demonstrated. • A high-throughput PAD was fabricated for on-site rapid visual detection. • Dual signals can prove each other with high accuracy. • The proposed platform had facile, portable, and visual advantages in POCT. High-throughput and accurate monitoring of pesticide residues is extremely crucial, but remains challenging. Herein, oxidized 3,3′,5,5′-tetramethylbenzidine (oxTMB) mediated dual-optical sensing-based paper analytical device (PAD) was unveiled for on-site visual detection of 2,4-dichlorophenoxyacetic acid (2,4-D) in real samples. Colorimetric blue oxTMB (652 nm) can be reduced to colorless TMB by ascorbic acid (AA). Meanwhile, oxTMB was demonstrated for the first time to switch oxidation and condensation reactions between o -phenylenediamine and AA to produce yellow-emission (564 nm) and blue-emission (429 nm) probes. Thus, colorimetric and ratiometric fluorescent dual-mode detection system was developed for 2,4-D detection by combining with alkaline phosphatase (ALP) initiating AA generation (ascorbic acid-2-phosphate as the substrate). Notably, the developed method can correct itself to improve the accuracy due to the dual-response signals. Using the principle, ALP-loaded PAD (array 3 × 10) was designed for efficient and high-performance detection of 2,4-D in turnip and cauliflower with good sensitivity (0.09 μg/mL for colorimetry, 0.06 μg/mL for fluorometry), satisfactory recovery (98.0 %–107.2 %), and high consistency (relative error ≤ 3.1 %). This work demonstrated a promising strategy for high-throughput visual detection of 2,4-D, which may provide a new pathway for the further development of dual-mode sensing platforms to efficiently detect other targets for food safety.

The best functional monomers and addition ratio were selected by quantum chemical simulation calculation, the properties of the prepared molecularly imprinted polymers were analyzed, and the detection conditions were optimized. The linear range, sensitivity, and selectivity of the method were evaluated. The results showed that under the optimum conditions, the concentration of 2–80 ng/g had a good linear relationship (R2 is 0.9953), the detection limit was 1.43 ng/g, the specificity was good, and the whole detection process did not exceed 20 min. The microfluidic paper chip was applied to detect butachlor in mung bean samples. The results showed that the recovery was 93.4–106.4 %, and the relative standard deviation was less than 5.6 %.

Nowadays, great efforts are made in developing new technology for rapid detection of specific DNA sequences, for environmental monitoring, forensic analysis and rapid biomedical diagnosis applications. Microfluidic paper-based analytical devices are suitable platforms for the development of point of care devices, due to their simple fabrication protocols, ease of use and low cost. Herein, a methodology for in situ detection of single strand DNA by using a colorimetric assay based on the formation of a DNAzyme within a paper substrate was developed. A DNAzyme that could only be formed in the presence of a specific sequence of the Y human amelogenin gene was designed. The performance of the DNAzyme was followed colorimetrically first in solution and then in paper substrates. The reaction was found to be specific to the Y fragment selected as analyte. The DNAzyme reaction on paper enabled the unequivocal colorimetric identification of the Y single strand DNA fragment both qualitatively, with the naked eye (143 ng), and quantitatively by image analysis (45.7 ng). As a proof of concept, a microfluidic paper-based device, pre-loaded with all DNAzyme reagents, was characterized and implemented for the simultaneous detection of X and Y single strand DNA fragments. Image 1 • Optimized methodology for in situ DNA detection in a paper device format. • Detection based on a DNAzyme using Y human amelogenin fragment. • Presents a non-enzymatic, colorimetric and rapid way to detect DNA sequences. • Detection: quantitatively by calculating the grey intensity values. • Detection: qualitatively by the presence of a green color "coffee ring".

In this study, we developed a point-of-care assay platform with simultaneous detection and self-calibration capabilities for multiple targets based on a microfluidic paper-based analytical device (μPAD). This system is easily manufactured using a wax printing method on chromatographic paper. The design pattern consists of a zone of detection and a calibrant zone for controlled loading using wax barriers with different thicknesses. We showed the utility and applicability of this approach by a proof-of-concept study for two clinically important markers: glucose and lactate. With the naked eye, the results could be fully distinguished and recorded to evaluate the analytical performance with a flatbed scanner. The detection limits of glucose and lactate were 0.3125 mM and 0.2975 mM, respectively, and simultaneous detection was possible from a small sample (0.4 μL) with high sensitivity. Furthermore, this device has a self-calibration function, which minimizes the influence of environmental conditions (i.e., ambient light intensity, temperature, humidity, and pressure). Therefore, the developed multiplex paper-based device is promising for clinical multianalyte point-of-care testing since it is easy to manufacture, cost-effective, user-friendly, and highly sensitive. Image 1 • Point-of-care assay platform with simultaneous detection and self-calibration capabilities was developed. • As proof of concept, enzymatic colorimetric glucose and lactate detection were successfully performed. • The platform offers low detection limits, accuracy and high specificity for the detection of glucose and lactate in serum. • This approach can be a promising tool for disease screening in medical diagnostics.

A novel assay platform consisting of a microfluidic sliding double-track paper-based chip and a hand-held Raspberry Pi detection system is proposed for determining the albumin-to-creatine ratio (ACR) in human urine. It is a clinically important parameter and can be used for the early detection of related diseases, such as renal insufficiency. In the proposed method, the sliding layer of the microchip is applied and the sample diffuses through two parallel filtration channels to the reaction/detection areas of the microchip to complete the detection reaction, which is a simple method well suited for self-diagnosis of ACR index in human urine. The RGB (red, green, and blue) value intensity signals of the reaction complexes in these two reaction zones are analyzed by a Raspberry Pi computer to derive the ACR value (ALB and CRE concentrations). It is shown that the G + B value intensity signal is linearly related to the ALB and CRE concentrations with the correlation coefficients of R
2 = 0.9919 and R2 = 0.9923, respectively. It is additionally shown that the ALB and CRE concentration results determined using the proposed method for 23 urine samples were collected from real suffering chronic kidney disease (CKD) patients are in fine agreement with those acquired operating a traditional high-reliability macroscale method. Overall, for point-of-care (POC) CKD diagnosis and monitoring in clinical applications, the results prove that the proposed method offers a convenient, real time, reliable, and low-spending solution for POC CKD diagnosis.

A new strategy for the fluorescent and colorimetric sensing of hydrogen peroxide (H 2 O 2) and glucose based on the metal oxide – carbon-dot hybrid structure was investigated. The sensing system is related to the catalytic oxidation reaction of glucose-by-glucose oxidase (GOx) to H 2 O 2. In this study, a metal oxide hybrid with nitrogen-doped carbon dots (MFNCDs) that showed intrinsic peroxidase-like activity was synthesized and used as a catalyst instead of GOx to oxidize 3,3′,5,5′-tetramethylbenzidine (TMB) to blue-emitting oxidized TMB (oxTMB) in the presence of hydrogen peroxide (H 2 O 2). The fluorescence of MFNCDs/TMB at 405 nm was quenched in the presence of H 2 O 2 through the inner filter effect (IFE) and electron transfer within MFNCDs, oxTMB, and glucose system. Therefore, the fluorescence and absorbance intensity can be applied to the quantitative determination of the concentration of H 2 O 2 and glucose with a wide linear range. The detection limit for H 2 O 2 and glucose based on the colorimetric method were as low as 84 nM and 0.41 μM, respectively. In contrast, the detection limit for H 2 O 2 and glucose based on the fluorescent method were as low as 97 nM and 0.85 μM, respectively. Furthermore, the colorimetric readout on the paper device based on the changing color of the solution could also be integrated with a smartphone platform to conduct the on-site analysis of glucose without the use of the spectrometer. In addition, this dual sensor can be applied to detect glucose in real serum with highly accurate results, making it a good candidate for biosensor applications. Image 1 • Metal oxide hybrid with N-doped carbon dots (MFNCDs) as a peroxidase-like catalyst was fabricated by a hydrothermal method. • A colorimetric and fluorescent sensor for H 2 O 2 and glucose was developed. • The MFNCDs exhibited excellent selectivity towards glucose. • MFNCDs showed low cytotoxicity and excellent biocompatibility.

[Display omitted] • A series of two-armed indole appended Schiff base conjoined 1,2,3-Triazole based click derived bis-organosilane and bis-organosilatrane is synthesized. • The designed Schiff bases are developed as colorimetric, fluorescent and paper-based selective sensors for Al(III). • The binding capabilities are in sighted by using absorption and emission titrations that determine the 4 and 5 high sensitivity and ultratrace low detection limits of 1.41 × 10−9 M and 0.17 × 10−9 M. • The insights into the optical signal changes are discussed. Metal ions have significant roles in diagnosis, industry, human health, and the environment. To design and develop new lucid molecular receptors for the selective detection of metal ions is important for environmental and medical applications. In the present work, two-armed indole appended Schiff bases conjoined with 1,2,3-Triazole bis-organosilane and bis-organosilatrane skelton sensors for naked eye colorimetric and fluorescent detection sensors for Al(III) are developed. The introduction of Al(III) in sensor 4 and 5 show red shift in UV–visible spectra, changes in fluorescence spectra and immediate color change from colorless to dark yellow. Furthermore, the pH and time response studies were explored for both sensors 4 & 5. The sensors 4 and 5 exhibited significantly low detection limit (LOD) in nano-molar range 1.41 × 10−9 M and 0.17 × 10−9 M respectively from emission titration. The LOD form absorption titration was found to be 0.6 × 10−7 M for sensor 4 and 0.22 × 10−7 M for sensor 5. In addition, the sensing model is developed as paper based sensor for its practical applicability.

- Abstract
Advancements in technology have led to the use of smartphones as biosensor detectors. However, it is difficult to obtain stable color information of colorimetric sensors using multiple smartphones owing to different light conditions and image correction operations. In this study, we attempted color detection of the colorimetric paper chip using smartphone-embedded light-emitting diode (LED) and simple transformation calculation. This method enables the acquisition of stable color information using different smartphones by reducing the influence of external light sources. Moreover, we studied characteristics such as convergence and distinction of detection result details by the manufacturers and smartphones. These findings suggested the necessity of classification criteria for the use of smartphones to achieve optimal detection. In addition, white and black references were used to set the standard for color correction of various light sources. Based on our results, we conclude that this approach presents the possibility of smartphone-based colorimetric detection in practical applications. Image 1 • We have attempted to quantify the bio-diagnostic assay by using various smartphones. • The effect of the external light environment is reduced by the smartphone LED and correction method. • The deviation between CMOS image sensors in various smartphones is reduced through contrast stretching method.

Despite recent advancements in the field of microfluidic paper-based analytical devices (μPADs), a key challenge remains in developing a simple and efficient μPAD with customized imaging capabilities for antioxidant assays. In the present study, we report a facile approach for μPAD fabrication through the application of transparent nail paint leading to creation of hydrophobic barriers and well-defined channels. The resultant μPADs were then characterized through scanning electron microscopy and contact angle measurements. The resolution and functional features of the fabricated μPAD were amenable to the intended assay. The μPAD's impregnated poly(methacrylic acid) (PMAA)-coated cerium oxide (CeO2) nanoparticles oxidized the 3,3′,5,5′-tetramethylbenzidine (TMB) leading to the formation of a blue-colored charge-transfer complex. The addition of different antioxidant standard solutions resulted in a reduction in the blue color in a dose-dependent manner which could be observed visually. The color intensity of the PMAA-CeO2 nanoparticle@TMB oxidation product was inversely proportional to the antioxidant concentration and was measured using customized in-house MATLAB-based image processing software. Importantly, PMAA-CeO2 nanoparticle-based μPADs demonstrated good analytical characteristics and were able to be stored for long periods without any loss of activity. Moreover, potential interferents did not pose any threat to the colorimetric signal read-out for determination of antioxidant activity. The developed method was further applied for the assessment of antioxidant activity in a variety of tea samples and performed satisfactorily in comparison with a commonly used antioxidant detection method. Collectively, the developed μPAD-based platform holds great potential as a low-cost, convenient, portable and reliable method for pursuing various on-site antioxidant assays. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

Abstract A new promising rhodamine based colorimetric and fluorometric chemosensor, RDV has been designed and synthesized for specific detection of Hg2+ ion. It acts as highly selective "turn-on" fluorescent chemosensor for Hg2+ ion without interference from other competitive metal ions in aqueous acetonitrile medium. The drastic color change with addition of Hg2+, from colorless to pink, indicates RDV can acts as "naked-eye" indicator for Hg2+. The Hg2+ promoted selective hydrolysis of appended vinyl ether group in RDV followed by Hg2+ chelated complex formation with concomitant opening of spirolactam ring is the plausible sensing mechanism. The detailed absorption, fluorescence, 1H NMR, 13C NMR and mass spectrometry confirms the proposed sensing mechanism. The limit of detection (LOD) of Hg2+ by RDV is 136 nM indicating the high sensitivity towards Hg2+. The RDV shows consistent spectroscopic response in biological pH range 4–10. In addition to explore practical applicability of RDV , its paper strips have been made and used to detect Hg2+ in pure water solution up to 10 ppm level. Furthermore, the potential application of RDV for the sensing of Hg2+ in real water samples (tap water and drinking waters from different sources) were also monitored and demonstrated. Graphical Abstract A rhodamine appended vinyl ether probe (RDV) for selective Hg2+ recognition has been synthesized which gives "turn ON" emission response for Hg2+ ion in aqueous medium over other metal ions in a chemodosimetric approach. The LOD is 136 nM. RDV has been explored for paper strip application as well as Hg2+ analysis from real water samples. Unlabelled Image Highlights • A rhodamine appended vinyl ether probe (RDV) for selective Hg2+ recognition has been synthesized. • RDV gives "turn ON" emission response for Hg2+ ion in aqueous medium over other metal ions in a chemodosimetric approach. • The LOD value is as low as 136 nM. • RDV has been explored for paper strip application as well as Hg2+ analysis from real water samples.

Abstract The research progress in the centrifugal microfluidic platform provides great opportunities for simple and effective analytical measurements in a variety of areas including biomedical engineering. In this study, we propose an optical reader that can measure the transmittance in a very sensitive and rapid manner on a hybrid paper-polymer centrifugal disc platform. This device enables real-time monitoring of multiple samples by measuring the absorbance of the light transmitted through the paper integrated on the disc between the light emitting diode (LED) and the photodiode (PD) regardless of the ambient light condition. To confirm its efficiency, we analyzed one of the blood's important indicators, glucose in a successful manner within 10 s without any additional complex image analysis. In addition, we discussed the results by comparing with the reflectance-based methods and with those of the previously reported studies by introducing a figure of merit to evaluate the performance of the assay. Highlights • Optical reader was developed for hybrid paper-polymer centrifugal disc platform. • This device enables real-time detection by measuring light transmission through the paper integrated on the disc between LED and photodiode. • As proof of concept, enzymatic colorimetric glucose detection was successfully performed. • Micromolar detection was achieved using the present technique within 10 s without any additional complex image analysis.

Signal amplification in colorimetric biosensors usually requires labile reagents and/or additional steps, which are not ideal for in-field measurements. Here we show that the limit of detection of a gold nanoparticle-labeled colorimetric immunosensor can be decreased 10-fold by performing the assay on a folded piece of paper. In this approach, the intrinsic porosity of the substrate enables generating multiple signals with a single drop of reagent. This yields combined signals with higher optical density thanks to the semitransparent nature of the wet material. It will be shown that this method can decrease the limit of detection 10 times in a model immunosensor for the detection of immunoglobulins. The procedure is so straightforward that it could be easily implemented to decrease the limit of detection of microfluidic paper-based analytical devices with colorimetric readouts.

We present a paper-based microfluidic colorimetric immunosensor for the detection of carcinoembryonic antigen (CEA), using Co 2 (OH) 2 CO 3 -CeO 2 nanocomposite with extraordinary intrinsic peroxidase like activity. The morphology and composition of the nanocomposite characterized with Scanning electron microscopy (SEM), Transmission electron microscopy (TEM), X-ray diffraction (XRD) and X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy (XPS) techniques. The proposed immunosensor facilely fabricated by loading mixture of ionic liquid and chitosan functionalized primary antibodies (Ab 1 ) on the surface of paper. Compared to traditional paper based immunodevice, when ionic liquid was used the nonspecific binding protein from the paper surface was more effectively removed. Secondary antibodies (Ab 2 ) were stacked on the surface of the carboxylated Co 2 (OH) 2 CO 3 -CeO 2 nanocomposite. The immunosensor response was obtained by a color change resulting from Co 2 (OH) 2 CO 3 -CeO 2 nanocomposite catalyzing the oxidation of 3,3′,5,5′-tetramethyl benzidine in the presence of H 2 O 2 . The colorimetric sensing was accomplished on the paper, using smartphone for taking a photo and then analyzing the colors with an installed application. Detection of CEA was performed by this method with a linear range from 0.002 to 75.0 ng mL −1 and a detection limit of 0.51 pg mL −1 . In this paper we developed simple, cost-effective and portable design for sensitive immunoassay and point-of-care diagnostics of cancer marker. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

Detection of bisulfite (HSO 3 −) in food and beverages has vital importance because the excessive amount leads to ill effects on the human body. Colorimetric and fluorometric chromenylium-cyanine-based chemosensor CyR was synthesized and applied for high selective and sensitive analysis of HSO 3 − in red wine, rose wine and, granulated sugar with high recovery ranges and very fast response time without any interference from other competitive species. The limits of detection (LOD) for the UV–Vis and fluorescence titrations were found as 11.5 μM and 3.77 μM, respectively. The on-site and very rapid methods based on paper strips and smartphone which depend on the color changes from yellow to green have been successfully developed to analyze HSO 3 − concentration (10−5-10−1 M for paper strip and 163–1205 μM for smartphone). CyR and the bisulfite-adduct formed in the nucleophilic addition reaction with HSO 3 − were verified by FT-IR, 1H NMR, and MALDI-TOF results as well as Single-Crystal X-Ray Crystallography for CyR. [Display omitted] • Chromenylium-cyanine based probe (CyR) was constructed for bisulfite determination. • CyR platform was decorated with glyoxal group to provide selectivity for bisulfite. • Probe is the first example of NIR Spectrophotometric probes for bisulfite analysis. • Bisulfite was quantified in red wine, rose wine and granulated sugar. • Paper strips and smartphone-based methods have been developed to analyze bisulfite.

- Abstract
The human body needs an antioxidant-rich diet that comes from foods, beverages, and herbal products to support the physiological antioxidant systems. Thus, the development of an analytical tool for a simple assay of the total antioxidant capacity (TAC) of the rich antioxidant samples is crucial. The current work demonstrates a simple colorimetric assay of TAC of the herbal extract on the paper microzone plate (PµZP) that was constructed in the 70-well of patterned paper using the screen printing technique. The PµZP was constructed by immobilizing DPPH (2,2-diphenyl-1-picrylhydrazyl) onto 70-well of PµZP as a sensing zone for colorimetric detection. The purple-sensing zone exhibited a good response to gallic acid (GA), by producing slightly gray to pale yellow color that can be captured using a scanner and then analyzed using the ImageJ program. The paper-based sensor showed a linear response toward GA at 0.05–0.6 mM (r = 0.9895), reproducible response (RSD < 4%), and accurate measurement with 91 to 106% recovery for measuring TAC of herbal extract, presented as mM gallic acid equivalent and showed a good agreement with the standard DPPH method. The results suggested that the proposed method can be applied for simple TAC measurement in the herbal extract. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

Herein, we have developed a simple, sensitive and paper-based colorimetric sensor for the selective detection of Chromium (Ⅵ) ions (Cr (VI)). Silanization-titanium dioxide modified filter paper (STCP) was used to trap bovine serum albumin capped gold nanoparticles (BSA-Au NPs), leading to the fabrication of BSA-Au NPs decorated membrane (BSA-Au NPs/STCP). The BSA-Au NPs/STCP operated on the principle that BSA-Au NPs anchored on the STCP were gradually etched by Cr (VI) as the leaching process of gold in the presence of hydrobromic acid (HBr) and hence induced a visible color change. Under optimum conditions, the paper-based colorimetric sensor showed clear color change after reaction with Cr (VI) as well as with favorable selectivity to a variety of possible interfering counterparts. The amount-dependent colorimetric response was linearly correlated with the Cr (VI) concentrations ranging from 0.5 µM to 50.0 µM with a detection limit down to 280 nM. Moreover, the developed cost-effective colorimetric sensor has been successfully applied to real environmental samples which demonstrated the potential for field applications. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]
