Lecture 2
microCOURSE: Lab-on-paper. State of the art
Paper or other cellulose materials seems to be an ideal starting point for developing such analytical systems. The paper appears to be a very good material for manufacturing point-of-care analytical systems. Lecture attendees will learn both the basics of lab-on-paper systems operation (lecture no.1) as well as the current state of knowledge on this topic prepared based on literature data (lecture no.2).

Point-of-care analysis refers to diagnostic testing or analysis conducted near the patient, often at the bedside or in a clinical setting, rather than sending samples to a centralized laboratory for processing. This approach offers several advantages: Rapid Results, Improved Patient Outcomes, Convenience, Cost-Efficiency, Accessibility, Streamlined Workflow. However, there are also some limitations and considerations associated with point-of-care analysis. “ASSURED” is an acronym that was developed by the World Health Organization (WHO) to outline the ideal characteristics of diagnostic tests for use in resource-limited settings. Each letter in “ASSURED” stands for a key attribute that such tests should possess:
Affordable, Sensitive, Specific, User-friendly, Rapid and robust, Equipment-free or minimal equipment requirements, Deliverable to those who need it.
