Paper-based device developed for rapid diagnosis of lung diseases

A team of IMB-CNM-CSIC researchers has coordinated the design of an instrument that combines microfluidics on paper and electrochemical transduction. It easily and quickly detects chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD), the third leading cause of death worldwide, and its versatility allows its application to the detection of other target biomarkers, such as specific RNA sequences of the SARS-CoV-2 virus.
