Abstract

This paper describes an efficient and high throughput method for fabricating three-dimensional (3D) paper-based microfluidic devices. The method avoids tedious alignment and assembly steps and eliminates a major bottleneck that has hindered the development of these types of devices. A single researcher now can prepare hundreds of devices within 1 h.
