Towards autonomous lateral flow assays: Paper-based microfluidic fuel cell inside an HIV-test using a blood sample as fuel
A. Dector,J. Galindo-de-la-Rosa,D.M. Amaya-Cruz,A. Ortíz-Verdín,Minerva Guerra-Balcázar,J.M. Olivares-Ramírez,Luis Gerardo Arriaga,Janet Ledesma-García +7 more
TL;DR: In this paper, a paper-based microfluidic fuel cell was used inside a lateral flow assay-human immunodeficiency virus (HIV) test to modify the HIV test, a bioanode that oxidizes the glucose present in a serum or blood sample and a cathode that reduces the oxygen delivered from air were stacked on the bottom and top, respectively, of a paperstrip test.

Perspective use of direct human blood as an energy source in air-breathing hybrid microfluidic fuel cells
A. Dector,R.A. Escalona-Villalpando,D. Dector,V. Vallejo-Becerra,A.U. Chávez-Ramírez,Luis Gerardo Arriaga,Janet Ledesma-García +6 more
TL;DR: In this paper, a flexible and light air-breathing hybrid microfluidic fuel cell (HμFC) operated under biological conditions was presented, which used a mixture of glucose oxidase, glutaraldehyde, multi-walled carbon nanotubes and vulcan carbon (GOx/VC-MWCNT-GA) as the bioanode.

A semi-conducting polypyrrole/coffee grounds waste composite for rhodamine B dye adsorption
Víctor M. Ovando-Medina,Nancy E. Dávila-Guzmán,Nancy Veronica Perez-Aguilar,Hugo Martínez-Gutiérrez,Iveth D. Antonio-Carmona,Silvia Y. Martínez-Amador,A. Dector +6 more
TL;DR: In this paper, a composite based on coffee grounds waste (CGW) coated with the semi-conducting polypyrrole (PPy) was prepared by pyrrole polymerization using potassium persulfate as oxidant.

A new type of air-breathing photo-microfluidic fuel cell based on ZnO/Au using human blood as energy source
Víctor M. Ovando-Medina,A. Dector,Iveth D. Antonio-Carmona,Adolfo Romero-Galarza,Hugo Martínez-Gutiérrez,J.M. Olivares-Ramírez +5 more
TL;DR: In this paper, a microfluidic fuel cell (μFC) with human blood glucose was photo/electrochemically oxidized, and the optical band gap of composites was determined as 3.15 eV, showing the typical surface plasmon resonance between 530 and 550 nm.
