A facile method for urinary phenylalanine measurement on paper-based lab-on-chip for PKU therapy monitoring

Analyst. 2017 Dec 4;142(24):4629-4632. doi: 10.1039/c7an01115f.

Abstract

A miniaturized paper-based lab-on-chip (LoC) was developed for the facile measurement of urinary Phe (phenylalanine) level on PKU (Phenylketonuria) treated patient. This system permits the monitoring of Phe in a dynamic range concentration of 20-3000 μM.
