Abstract

A microfluidic paper-based analytical device (μPAD) for the determination of lactoferrin in human tear fluid has been developed. By using the fluorescence signal emitted from lactoferrin-terbium complexes, an antibody-free sensing system has been achieved. Application of 2.5 μL of sample onto a μPAD allowed for the detection of lactoferrin concentration in human tear fluid. The selectivity for lactoferrin among the primary constituents of tear fluid has been confirmed. Furthermore, the accuracy of the developed μPAD has been evaluated by comparing the analysis results of real samples with the conventional ELISA method.
