Abstract

This article proposes a paper-based microfluidic chip that can non-invasively measure glucose with optical detection technique using NIR. This paper chip is disposable, portable, low-cost, lightweight, and suitable for point-of-care and cost-effective tests. This paper chip is fabricated with a kind of photoresist that is used in the publishing industry called UV curable resin. This method is chip, simple, and suitable for mass production. This paper chip is used for measuring glucose non-invasively and an interface sensor is designed with an NIR technique that can measure glucose concentration between 60 to 500 mg/dl with voltage range of 630 to 730 mV.
