• Functional Point-of-Care Dried Blood Spot Cards

  SUMMARY OF PROBLEMCurrently, blood is collected and stored for further analysis on dried blood spot (DBS) cards. Uses include testing expecting mothers for fetal distress, and newborns for metabolic and congenital disorders; and is a field standard for biobanking and epidemiology.However, these cards are subject to sampling inconsistencies. Under- or...

• Fluidic Devices Involving Signal Generation at Converging Fronts

  DESCRIPTIONDr. Charles Mace has designed a novel multilayered paper device. First, liquid sample is transported to chambers within the device with stored reagents. Then the liquid mixtures from the chambers converge back to a reaction zone. The converging liquid fronts generate a signal that, through design and specific paper treatments, restrict signal...
