In recent years, advances in rapid prototyping technologies such as 3D printing have dramatically improved the capability of researchers to produce prototype in-situ reagent based analytical platforms for monitoring key environmental parameters. This improved prototyping efficiency is opening the way to more effective analytical platforms, combined with lower unit costs, higher frequency sampling, and longer service intervals during deployments, which drives down the cost of ownership significantly. These potential advances, in the price performance of autonomous analysers, is coupled with rising demand for deployments to meet strengthening national, European and International regulatory requirements. These technologies will not only find immediate application in the environmental sector but other applications such as food and agriculture. Hence there is a significant market opportunity in the sector which so far has not been met by the existing industry players. Here we present a 3D printed Microfluidic chip for the accurate and reliable colorimetric detection of multi-analytes in micro-fluidic platforms for environmental applications.
