Abstract
A study of the paper-based microfluidic devices was carried out for melamine detection. Paper-based microfluidic detection was chosen for the experiments, as it could be the most cost effective, compared to other detection techniques, which would require expensive instruments. Experimental results revealed a very good depletion of bovine serum albumin from the target analyte (melamine). UV-vis absorbance value curves of the mixture solution and extraction solution showed the extraction of the small molecule (melamine) by the developed paper microfluidic device. It is concluded that the H-filter can be used for determination of adulterated melamine in dairy products.
期刊介绍:
Primary Health Care Research & Development is aimed specifically at both researchers and practitioners in primary health care, bridging the gap between the two areas. It provides a forum for the publication of international, interdisciplinary research and development in primary health care. It is essential reading for all involved in primary care: nurse practitioners, GPs and health service managers; professional and local groups in community health; researchers and academics; purchasers of primary health care services; allied health practitioners in secondary services and health-related consumer groups.
