A Reaction-Advection-Diffusion Model to describe Non-Uniformities in Colorimetric Sensing using Thin Porous Substrates
Kulkarni Namratha, S. Pushpavanam
Non-uniform product (color) distribution in colorimetric paper-based sensors affects the accuracy and reliability of measurements. The underlying mechanisms responsible for this ar…
