VisionPortable diagnostic tools are urgently required to ensure rapid,affordable and simple analysis in many scenarios that willbenefit our society (e.g. in; hospitals, airports, doctor’s practice,roadside police controls, natural environment).

However, conventional analytical methods often require a largevolume of sample and complicated time-consuming protocols.Current portable devices are based on less sensitive immunoch-romatographic strips or electrochemical detection systems, whe-reas desktop systems (though sensitive and semi-automatic) arebulky and heavy.

StrategyDue to the biomicrofabrication results achieved within the

consortium and remarkable synergy with organic

optoelectronics, lamination and biological reactions,

the consortium can now seize the opportunity to

develop a fully integrated device with ultra-low cost.

The combination of these technologies will produce a

successful portable diagnostic device able to analyse all major

biomolecule classes (proteins, RNA and DNA) in a wide range of

applications.

The new testing devices will consist of a lab-on-a-chip (LOC)

embedded in a smartcard or a skin patch. The Labcard and Skin

Patch components will be manufactured using a reel-to-reel

system radically decreasing the price to 1% of existing systems

(wafer based).

LABONFOILLABONFOIL

The future mass production of these novel diagnostic components

will be guaranteed by the development of manufacturing

equipment. This will provide, at last, a standardised solution to

manufacture truly ultra-low-cost Lab-on-a-chip microsystems. The

dramatic cost reduction will be based on the use of large films

instead of wafer substrates. The smart mobile phone will offer

a vast range of straightforward communication and interface

capabilities. This strategy will turn a smartphone into a portable

diagnostic device. The Labcards and the skin patches will

demonstrate the wide range of applications and the potential of

the technology.

ObjectivesThe objective of the LabOnFoil project is to develop ultra-low-cost

laboratories on chips (LOC) without compromising time

response, sensitivity or simplicity of use. The user will obtain

the test results using a very popular interface (a smartphone)

and a set of Labcards and skin patches, where the sample prepa-

ration and detection take place. The project will validate the

devices in four applications:

• Labcard for marine algae analyisis, climate change, CO2sequestration, and toxic blooms.

• Labcard for Salmonella spp. and Campylobacter spp. detectionin slaughter houses and farms.

• Labcard for Colorectal Cancer monitoring using blood.

• Skin patch for cocaine consumption testing of professionaldrivers.
