Point of care testing devices for sensing and diagnostics

Abstract

The thesis 339 Point of Care Testing Devices for Sensing and Diagnostics involve point of care testing POCT and detection of an array of biomarkers from human body fluids such as alpha amylase albumin creatinine as well as water pollutants such as lead fluoride and pH In particular the thesis focusses on the use of biomaterials such as paper functionalized nanoparticles and conductive polymers to develop POCT devices targeting biomedical and environmental application The thesis comp
