摘要:
A chemical assay device includes a hydrophilic substrate and one or more hydrophobic structures that extend from a first side of the hydrophilic substrate to a second side of the hydrophilic substrate. A hydrophobic structure in the hydrophilic substrate forms a fluid barrier wall that extends from the first side of the hydrophilic substrate to the second side of the hydrophilic substrate with a deviation of less than 20° from a perpendicular axis between the first side and the second side. The hydrophobic structure is formed from a wax or a phase change ink.
摘要:
An apparatus for distributing a hydrophobic material in a hydrophilic substrate includes a first plate, a second plate, a heater operatively connected to the first plate and configured to heat the first plate to a first temperature that is greater than a second temperature of the second plate, and an actuator configured to move the first plate and second plate together with a hydrophilic substrate between the plates. The first plate and second plate form a temperature gradient to enable a hydrophobic material on one side of a hydrophilic substrate that faces the second plate to penetrate into the hydrophilic substrate towards the first plate.

This disclosure provides a workflow method and system associated with a paper-based sensor. Specifically, provided is a paper-based sensor workflow including printing of customized security sensing information and bio-reagents to produce a paper-based sensor, applying a test material, such as, but not limited to, blood, to the paper-based sensor, capturing an image of the paper-based sensor and performing a colorimetric process; and performing one or more analytics to produce results associated with the test material
摘要:
The present disclosure proposes a design of a biomedical paper sensor which can determine the concentration of biological materials in fluids such as blood, urine, and saliva. The sensor contains a plurality of axially radiating test zones, each test zone separated from other test zones by wax ink barriers formed by a process that produces thin walls. Each test zone can contain a unique test reagent, or a unique concentration of a test reagent, and can also be identified by printed text. The region of the device outside of the test zone area is printed with a uniform reference color. Benefits of the invention include increased accuracy in the measurement of the concentration of biological materials due to the larger test zone area. Benefits also include the integration of the reference or calibration color which simplifies the calibration needed for quantification of the concentration.

摘要:
An apparatus for bonding two substrates includes a first roller, a second roller that forms a nip with the first roller, a substrate transport configured to move the first substrate and a second substrate through the nip simultaneously, and a controller. The controller operates the substrate transport to move the first substrate and the second substrate through the nip simultaneously, with a pattern of a hydrophobic material on a first side of the first substrate engaging a first side of the second substrate. The first substrate engages the first roller, which has a higher temperature than the second roller, and the hydrophobic material penetrates the first and second substrates to bond the substrates together.
