Lab on a Capillary: Instrument-Free Compartmentalization Using Photopatterned Hydrogel Rings Embedded inside a Glass Capillary for Amplified Bioassays

2026-07-08

Abstract excerpt

Sensitive and low-cost protein biomarker detection is critical for disease diagnosis. Advanced microfluidic systems can generate miniature reaction compartments for a high-sensitivity assay. However, these platforms often require external instruments, skilled operators, and complex setups. Here, we develop a Lab on a Capillary (LabCap) platform that integrates photopatterned hydrogel rings within a glass capillary...
