In remote regions of the world where electricity is hard to come by
and scientific instruments are even scarcer, conducting medical
tests at a doctor’s office or medical lab is rarely an option.
Scientists are now reporting progress toward an inexpensive
point-of-care, paper-based device to fill that void with no
electronics required. Their study on the extremely sensitive test,
which simply relies on the user keeping track of time, appears in
the ACS journal Analytical Chemistry.
