Strategically Designing a Pumpless Microfluidic Device on an “Inert” Polypropylene Substrate with Potential Application in Biosensing and Diagnostics

Abstract: This study is an attempt to make a step forward to implement the very immature concept of pumpless transportation of liquid into a real miniaturized device or lab-on-chip (LOC) on a plastic substrate. "Inert" plastic materials such as polypropylene (PP) are used in a variety of biomedical applications but their surface engineering is very challenging. Here, it was demonstrated that with a facile innovative wettability patterning route using fluorosilanized UV-independent TiO nanoparticle coating it is possible… Show more

“…The "pumpless transportation" mechanism utilizing hydrophilic patterning on hydrophobic substrates was demonstrated in our previous work. 29 The PP polymer is intrinsically hydrophobic because of the presence of −CH− and −CH 2 − backbone and −CH 3 pendant group and can be used directly as a hydrophobic support from manufacturers to enable pumpless transportation. It is also suitable to be used as a paper-based biosensor, as it is an inexpensive, low density flexible material.…”

“…Recent advancements in nanomaterials and nano technologies have provided us with the possibility of devel oping innovative sensing and biosensing systems that meet the requirements of lowcost and easytouse devices. [247][248][249][250][251] In the last ten years, nanopores/nanochannels have appeared as materials enjoying powerful analytic capacity for sensing and biosensing applications. The latest and the most distinc tive methods devised using nanochannels for sensing and biosensing applications are based on utilizing them as modi fiers for common electrotransducer surfaces, which measure the electrochemical response changes within an electroactive species in the solution thanks to existing analyte within the channels.…”

“…Biosensors are a progress in analytical science, in which their design is based on selective identification of the analysis depending on the physiological components and interactions with physical and chemical detectors. There are many kinds of biosensors for the recognition of biochemical interactions, such as electrical, optical, calorimetric, etc . Conventional diagnostic methods in medicine require the use of expensive devices that need costly maintenance to ensure an accurate operation .…”
