What changed from existing technology?
This study developed a simple and low-cost method to detect a compound called gallic acid in drinks using a paper-based tool that can collect and analyze samples.
The integration of wax-patterned paper discs with screen-printed electrodes for simultaneous sample collection and analysis represents a novel approach in electrochemical sensing.
