Point-of-Care Diagnostics: Recent Advances and Trends

Biosensors (Basel). 2017 Dec 18;7(4):62. doi: 10.3390/bios7040062.

Abstract

Recent years have witnessed tremendous advances in point-of-care diagnostics (POCD), which are a result of continuous developments in biosensors, microfluidic, bioanalytical platforms, assay formats, lab-on-a-chip technologies, and complementary technologies. This special issue targets the critical advances in POCD and provides guided insights and directions for future research.

Keywords: assays; bioanalytical applications; biosensors; devices; diagnostics; framework; modeling; point-of-care.
