Laboratory Skin Patches and SmartCards based on foils and compatible with a smartphone (LabOnFoil)
Start date: May 1, 2008, End date: Feb 28, 2013,
Conventional analytical methods often require a large sample volume and complicated time-consuming protocols. The objective of this project is to develop ultra low cost laboratories on chips (LOC) without penalisation in time response, sensitivity or simplicity of use. The user will obtain the test results using a very popular interface (a smartphone) and a set of Labcards and Skin Patches where t ...
