A three-dimensional origami-based immuno-biofuel cell for self-powered, low-cost, and sensitive point-of-care testing

Chem Commun (Camb). 2014 Feb 25;50(16):1947-9. doi: 10.1039/c3cc47731b.

Abstract

A three-dimensional microfluidic origami glucose-air immuno-biofuel cell has been successfully demonstrated for the first time to implement self-powered, sensitive, and low-cost sandwich immunoassay for cancer markers based on the signal amplifications of a porous Au-paper electrode and Au nanoparticles attached to carbon nanotubes.
