Electrochemical detection of glucose from whole blood using paper-based microfluidic devices.

Highlights: [•] A novel platform of paper-based microfluidic devices for glucose assay from whole blood sample was established that incorporates plasma isolation methods. [•] Dumbbell shaped μPADs was fabricated to obtain the uniform plasma separation and reproducible electrochemical signals. [•] Two pieces of VF2 membranes combined with Whatman No. 1 paper using wax-dipping fabrication method to form a dumbbell shaped μPAD. [•] Conventional Prussian blue-modified screen printed electrode (PB-SPEs) was placed underneath the middle part of a dumbbell shaped μPAD. [Copyright &y& Elsevier]
