R. China 2Graduate School of Chinese Here we present a simple and low-cost production method to generate paper-based Academy of Sciences, Beijing, microfluidic devices with wax for portable bioassay. The wax patterning method we P. R. China introduced here included three different ways: (i) painting with a wax pen, (ii) printing with an inkjet printer followed by painting with a wax pen, (iii) printing by a wax printer Received September 2, 2008 directly. The whole process was easy to operate and could be finished within 5–10 min Revised November 10, 2008 without the use of a clean room, UV lamp, organic solvent, etc. Horse radish peroxidase, Accepted November 10, 2008 BSA and glucose assays were conducted to verify the performance of wax-patterned paper. Keywords: Bioassay / Microfluidics / Paper-based microfluidics / Wax DOI 10.1002/elps.200800563 This paper presents a very simple and low-cost method to processes and higher cost of materials, which are not ideal pattern microstructures with wax on paper for portable f
