Microfluidic Paper Analytical Device (µPAD) technology enables creation of affordable, portable, and durable detection devices. By imprinting chemical reactants on paper, chemicals of interest can be detected through colorimetric analysis. This presentation represents the successful development of a µPAD to detect for iron in drinking water utilizing the colorimetric reaction of 1,10-phenanthroline with ferrous iron.
