Thus far, switches for paper microfluidics were limited by long response times, large actuation fluid volumes, and use of external control circuitry. We developed a unique a

Lack of effective methods for introduction and removal of command compounds and low efficiencies of the reactions involved are major reasons for the limited performance. We introduce here a user interface based on a microfluidic
