Sensor Design on Inexpensive Substrate for Biochemical Applications

This book presents several novel sensor design methods on inexpensive substrates for various biomedical and chemical applications in order to improve the health and life quality of people living in less-industrialized countries and remote regions. In particular it focuses on the further simplification of low-cost analytical devices in terms of user-friendliness and their applicability in resource-limited environment. The author of the work has been the first one to realize the concept of an external reader-free text-reporting system for paper-based devices. As such the projects in this book innovatively created the extraordinary idea that is the results speak themselves. This would be a great contribution to the current development of low-cost analytical devices. This book contains five sections linking to each other to provide a complete story about low-cost analytical devices using as biochemical sensors in the application of blood analysis and environmental monitoring. The high impact of this work also enabled the author and the research team to be awarded many prizes and honors including the ”Eureka” award in Australia.
