title = "Design and characterization of a multiplexed capillary-driven lab-on-chip for water quality analysis",
abstract = "The concept of a novel point-of-care (POC) microfluidic device for water-quality analysis was presented. The device employs capillary phenomena as filling process and its design is compatible to the use of organic photodiodes for bio-sensing. Three different device conformations were described and characterized. The series model attained a small total filling time (TFT) of around 2.80s. However, as disadvantage, this conformation cannot be used in bio-chemiluminescence (BCL) reactions having multiple analytes in common. For the parallel model, a high TFT of around 86s was obtained and some advancing/receding of fluid during the filling process was observed. This could lead to weaker optical signals and higher noise in the sensing area. Regarding the parallel-series, a TFT value of 35s was attained. This is a compromise between previously studied conformations. Also, no advancing/receding of fluid has occurred and a more compact design was created, as desired for POC applications.",
