Abstract

Multiplex expansion in point-of-care diagnostics usually requires a linear increase of premium commodities such as reagents or space. Here we demonstrate the power of binary and molecular encoding to compress device operations. We describe the first colorimetric 7-segment display on a paper-based biosensor, providing compact and intuitive read-outs for multiplex detections.
