Separation and electrochemical detection of paracetamol and 4-aminophenol in a paper-based microfluidic device.

The present work describes the construction and application of a simple, low cost and sensitive microfluidic paper-based device with electrochemical detection for the detection of paracetamol and 4-aminophenol. The separation channels of a width of 2.0 mm were created on paper using a wax printing process to define the regions of the device.
