Diseases surround the world and being able to diagnose them is crucial in order to then cure the disease.
Diagnosing diseases is not always an affordable, time-efficient,
or easy task. Paper-based microfluidic devices construct a
framework that leaves the level of complication and cost low
while keeping the efficiency high.1−6 The application of paperbased microfluidics presents many advantages such as their cost
effectiveness: they are easy to mass-produce, transport, store,
implement, dispose, and they do not need excessive equipment
to move liquid like other devices. There are also many
disadvantages to paper-based microfluidic devices. They are
relatively new, which means issues such as the control over flow
rates, mixing, and interaction times between sample and
reagents have not yet been perfected.7−9
