AutoPAD

AutoPAD generates and refactors designs for paper-based microfluidic devices to streamline design and prototyping for biomedical analysis and environmental monitoring.

Key Features:

• Automatic Zone Alignment: Incorporates automatic zone alignment to reduce design errors during prototyping of paper-based microfluidic layouts.
• Design Refactoring: Provides refactoring of components to modify existing designs or create new device layouts.
• Literature-Based Design Recreation: Recreates device designs from existing literature to reproduce and adapt published paper-based microfluidic configurations.

Scientific Applications:

• Biomedical analysis: Enables design and prototyping of paper-based microfluidic devices for biomedical assays and point-of-care diagnostics.
• Environmental monitoring: Supports development of paper-based devices for environmental sensing and monitoring applications.
• Device prototyping and reproduction: Facilitates rapid recreation and adaptation of published device designs for experimental prototyping and validation.

Methodology:

Performs automatic zone alignment and design refactoring to create and modify paper-based microfluidic device layouts.
