Abstract

The combination of simple Electrochemical Micro-Paper-based Analytical Devices (EµPADs) with commercially available glucometers allows rapid, quantitative electrochemical analysis of a number of compounds relevant to human health (e.g., glucose, cholesterol, lactate, and alcohol) in blood or urine.
