| Abstract | This article gathered research articles involving development of simple paper- and thread-based analytical devices for chemistry classrooms allowing students to visualize and learn easily. This type of analytical devices has been developed as an alternative analytical method to high cost conventional liquid-based instrumental analysis. Currently, researchers have been developing simple paper- and thread-based devices for variety of analyses, for examples, determination of chemical reaction rate, colorimetric analysis, health diagnostics, environmental chemical analysis, and food quality analysis. Paper- and thread-based devices are gaining their popularity in microfluidic or flow system since (1) these low cost and available cellulose-based materials, (2) compatible with biochemical and medical chemicals, and (3) liquid transportable via capillary force with no external force required. In paper-based device, microfluidic channels are created with different patterns so liquid can flow only in the given channel. In other word, the flow of liquid in microfluidic devices can be controlled. Research concerning paper-based microfluidic device is gaining its' popularity. Most published research focuses on (1) fabrication of paper-based microfluidic device with simple technique, and (2) applications of paper-based microfluidic device coupled with new detection methods such as analysis of images captured by smartphones using efficient and rapid color processing software. In this article, both fabrication techniques and various experiments of paper- and thread-based microfluidic devices concerning their detection efficiency and applications in classrooms published in periodic journals since 2007 are reviewed. In addition, strengths and weaknesses of the reviewed articles are discussed. |
