Microfluidic devices based on textile threads have interesting advantages when compared
to systems made with traditional materials, such as polymers and inorganic substrates …

The DPPH method has been reported with misconceptions in a large number of studies,
thus precluding comparison of results. Attention is drawn to a common mistake in the unit …

Studies on microfluidic thread-based analytical devices (μTADs) have been developed for a
decade. Threads, made of natural cellulose or synthesized polymer fibres, are manufactured …

A simple method on dispersive liquid–liquid microextraction combining with smartphone
colorimetric analysis was developed to determine trace calcium. The colored complex of …

We report the first use of a paper-based device as a simple, low-cost and rapid detection
platform for simultaneous determination of antioxidant activity and total phenolic content in …

A combined thread-paper microfluidic device (μTPAD) is presented for the determination of
glucose in blood. The device is designed to include all the analytical operations needed: red …

Novel approaches that incorporate electrofluidic and microfluidic technologies are reviewed
to illustrate the translation of traditional enclosed structures into open and accessible textile …

The evaluation of Total Antioxidant Capacity (TAC), namely the complete pattern of
antioxidant species in a complex medium, is of major interest in many fields ranging from …

Reproducible and in situ microbial detection, particularly of microbes significant in urinary
tract infections (UTIs) such as Candida albicans, provides a unique opportunity to bring …
