Label free, electric field mediated ultrasensitive electrochemical point-of-care device for CEA detection

Abstract Developing point-of-care (PoC) diagnostic platforms for carcinoembryonic antigen detection is essential. However, thefew implementations of transferring the signal amplification strategies in electrochemical sensing on paper-based platforms are not satisfactory in terms of detection limit (...
