A transparent paper-based platform for multiplexed bioassays by wavelength-dependent absorbance/transmittance

This communication describes the rational design of a transparent paper-based chemosensing platform for multi-target detection by wavelength-dependent absorbance/transmittance. The platform was successfully applied in the examination of bovine serum albumin (BSA) and cholesterol in serum with a low detection limit of 0.1 μM and 0.1 mM, respectively. With low cost and high sensitivity, the paper-based platform shows great promise for multiplexed bioassays.
