title = "Simultaneous, triplex colourimetric measurement of cardiac biomarkers in fluoropolymer microfluidic strips",
abstract = "Cardiac biomarkers have an essential role in diagnosis, risk stratification, clinical and treatment decisions for patients presenting symptoms of e.g. Myocardial Infarction (MI) and Pulmonary Embolism (PE). This paper shows for the first time simultaneous cheap-optical, colourimetric quantitation of cardiac Troponin I (TnI), BNP and D-dimer in whole blood using fluoropolymer microfluidic strips, with a limit of detection (LoD) of 71, 439 and 55 pg/ml, respectively, which compares well with the cut-off values reported for existent commercial-singleplex point-of-care cardiac tests with the advantage of quantitation of multiple biomarkers.",
