Here we present a fast and cheap prototyping technique for the realisation of paper-based microfluidic devices simply by using a stamp and indelible ink. The proposed mechanism involves contact stamping of indelible ink to laboratory filter paper using a PDMS stamp, which defines the microfluidic structure. It is a cleanroom and washing steps-free method which provides a reproducible method for the production of functional paper-based microfluidic devices in a single step in less than 10 s. The method is fully characterised and the concept has been applied, as a proof-of-principle, for the realisation of a low-cost colorimetric glucose sensor.
