==FIBER SUBSTRATE-BASED FLUIDIC ANALYTICAL DEVICES AND METHODS OF MAKING AND USING THE SAME - A simplified explanation of the abstract==


This abstract first appeared for US patent application 20240050941 titled 'FIBER SUBSTRATE-BASED FLUIDIC ANALYTICAL DEVICES AND METHODS OF MAKING AND USING THE SAME

==Simplified Explanation==

The abstract describes a fiber substrate-based fluidic device for detecting the presence and/or concentration of an analyte. The device includes a nitrocellulose substrate with wells and/or fluidic channels, sandwiched between two bonded layers of a hydrophobic film.

* The device is a microfluidic diagnostic device for detecting analytes.
* It uses a nitrocellulose substrate with wells and/or fluidic channels.
* The boundaries of the wells and/or fluidic channels are defined by the nitrocellulose and the hydrophobic film.
* The device is manufactured by sandwiching the nitrocellulose substrate between the hydrophobic film layers.

Potential applications of this technology:
* Medical diagnostics: The device can be used for detecting various analytes in biological samples, such as blood or urine, for diagnostic purposes.
* Environmental monitoring: The device can be used to detect pollutants or contaminants in water or air samples.
* Food safety testing: The device can be used to detect harmful substances or contaminants in food products.

Problems solved by this technology:
* Rapid and accurate detection: The device provides a quick and reliable method for detecting analytes, allowing for timely interventions or decisions.
* Portable and easy-to-use: The device can be designed to be portable and user-friendly, enabling on-site testing and reducing the need for specialized laboratory equipment.
* Cost-effective: The use of fiber substrate and hydrophobic film materials can make the device more affordable compared to traditional diagnostic methods.

Benefits of this technology:
* Sensitivity: The device can be designed to have high sensitivity, allowing for the detection of low concentrations of analytes.
* Versatility: The device can be adapted to detect a wide range of analytes by modifying the composition or design of the nitrocellulose substrate.
* Scalability: The manufacturing process of the device can be easily scaled up to produce large quantities, making it suitable for mass production.


==Original Abstract Submitted==

embodiments of fiber substrate-based fluidic device and methods of manufacturing the same are described herein. in one example, a microfluidic diagnostic device for detecting a presence and/or concentration of an analyte includes a nitrocellulose substrate sandwiched between two bonded layers of a hydrophobic film. the nitrocellulose substrate includes a plurality of wells and/or fluidic channels formed in the nitrocellulose substrate such that boundaries of the wells and/or fluidic channels are defined by the nitrocellulose and at least one of the bonded layers of the hydrophobic film.
