Abstract
In an attempt to merge 3D-printing technology into the development of next generational diagnostic devices, specifically microfluidic paper based analytical devices (μPADs), we developed several hybrid 3D printed-paper devices capable of performing unique functions. We printed fluid reservoirs and pillars for larger fluid volumes, hemi and closed channels to selectively control fluid flow through the device, conductive wires for electronic quantitation, and more. Implementation of these features into traditional μPADs may allow for more robust, sensitive, and structural diagnostic devices.
