Abstract

Background: Inexpensive and disposable microfluidic sensing equipment is in strong demand which can detect biomarkers of diseases found in urine or blood. From recent studies, it has been found that multifilament threads can be used for producing low-cost microfluidic devices hence these multifilament threads act as an inexpensive alternative. Thread has various advantages to make it appropriate to be used in microfluidics-based technologies which include its low price, lightweight, easy availability, and hydrophilic nature. The use of any external pumping system is avoided by the presence of capillary channels in threads which allows the easy flow of fluid. Since thread offers more choices of materials over paper and also paper-based microfluidics preparation is expensive therefore thread-based microfluidic sensor has been considered more advantageous over paper-based microfluidic sensors.

Methods: Various research reports were collected from search engines like ScienceDirect, Pub-med, ResearchGate, and Google Scholar. Further important outcomes from these reports along with basic experimental setup details have been compiled under different sections of this manuscript.

Conclusion: Non-invasive or blood-free diagnosis can reduce the pain and several risk factors compared with the traditional invasive diagnosis so it is gaining more attention regarding health status monitoring. The various applications regarding thread-based devices include the detection of glucose and its determination, diagnosis of diabetes and kidney failure simultaneously, food dyes separation, sweat pH and lactate determination, selective potassium analysis, multiple antibodies detections, an assay of microbes, for acid-base titrations, as ELISA’s platform, diagnosis of infectious diseases, ion sensing, identification of blood types and detection of bio-samples, etc.
