The researchers whose trusted networks rank it highest, strongest advocate first. Every researcher gets a different order.

From Wearable Sensors to Smart Implants-–Toward Pervasive and Personalized Healthcare (2015, methodology): “Recently, flexible materials such as polyimi de [37, 38] have been used for sensor node platforms.”
Surface Acoustic Wave Microfluidics (2014, methodology): “SAW-driven drop mixing was reported by Li et al. (2012b), who further combined the SAW platform with an electrode array to take advantage of the finer ability for drop manipulation (e.g., translation, splitting, and merging) with electrowetting.”
Emerging Technologies for Next-Generation Point-of-Care Testing. (2015, neutral): “PBA formats include LFAs, dipstick assays, andmicrofluidic paper-based analytical devices (mPADs) [38,39].”
Recent Advances in Paper-Based Sensors (2012, methodology): “There are several techniques and processes involving chemical modification and/or physical deposition that could be used to tune the properties of the paper such that it becomes available for further modification or direct usage in a range of applications [40].”
Fabrication techniques for microfluidic paper-based analytical devices and their applications for biological testing: A review. (2016, background): “…do have limitations, for example; (i) evaporation and retention of the sample can cause sample delivery inefficiencies in the transport process (Li et al., 2012), (ii) more complex and multiple steps involved in the analysis, such as premixing of samples before the final reaction, can make…”
