Elsevier Paper Based Sensors: Volume 89 (Comprehensive Analytical Chemistry, Volume 89)

Paper Based Sensors, Volume 89, the latest release in this comprehensive series that gathers the most important issues relating to the design and application of these cost-effective devices used in many industries, including health and environment diagnostics, safety and security, chemistry, optics, electrochemistry, nanoscience and nanotechnologies, presents the latest updates in the field. Chapters in this new release include Exploring paper as a substrate for electrochemical micro-devices, Paper-based sensors for application in biological compound detection, Printed paper-based (bio)sensors: design, fabrication and applications, Paper-based electrochemical sensing devices, Multifarious aspects of electrochemical paper-based (bio)sensors, Paper Based Biosensors for Clinical and Biomedical Applications, and more. Review "The present volume is an excellent contribution to the field of sensors, in regard to those based on paper. The twelve chapters provide comprehensive state of the art of the field, including reinvented platforms such as those based on lateral flow assays as well as microfluidics. Issues related to the fabrication, the integration of various detection systems and the use of different techniques and innovative approaches as well as the main applications are covered in the volume. As stated in the preface: 'The recent COVID-19 pandemics is an evidence of the need of paper-based sensors. Thanks to their cost efficiency, these were between the few devices able to be distributed fast and in big quantities in various parts of the world…Still much work is needed to make paper-based sensors more sensitive and afford even multidetection and address real analytical application scenarios'. Reading this book is one of the motivating ways to start with!" --Springer "The present volume is an excellent contribution to the field of sensors, in regard to those based on paper.
