Laboratory tests are time-consuming, cost-intensive and often take too long - this is where the project developed the basis for implementing tests tailored to individual diseases quickly [...] The novel paper-based diagnostic test card concept in credit card format will allow quantitative measurement of biomolecules in a few drops of the body fluid to be tested and is primarily intended for medical [...] Hainberger combines paper, printing, and microchip technologies and closes the gap between rapid tests and laboratory analysis. Hainberger is certain that paper-based biosensors are the future and says:

Antibody testing by saliva - paper highly cited
AIT expert Peter Hetteger proves in his publication that not only antibody testing but even titer determination is possible from saliva. The journal PLOS ONE congratulated after the work aroused great [...] Diagnostics (Center for Health and Bioresources) proved in his published work that non-invasive antibody testing is possible from saliva. Even a titer determination can be determined, i.e. the concentration [...] was performed using high-multiplex peptide array analysis. The advantage over conventional antibody tests lies in the use of chemically synthesisable peptides, which are chemically highly standardised, very
