Scientists form Superior Scientific Research Council (CSIC) from Spain, have developed batteries that are microfluid combustible in paper and they are like small devices that can diagnose like lateral flow bands, as you find in pregnancy tests, or glucose tests, they work without outside batteries. Flow lateral bands have been used in the diagnosis field because they are cheap, lightweight, mobility, and they can bring us quickly answers and results are easy to read. Sometimes, these devices need a battery lector to evaluate the result. Although, they solve how to avoid external battery with the approach of a solution developed by the collaboration of two institutions: Microelectronic Institute of Barcelona, in association with Catalysis and Petrochemistry (both associations belong to CSIC).They made up a battery with combustible that brings enough electrical power for feeding the optical sensors of an essay and they show the results without an external battery. Paper is cheap, biodegradable, slim, flexible, and it can transport fluids… read more →
