Article: FUJIFILM Dimatix Inkjet Printer Aids Researchers in Developing Paper-based Biosensors to Detect Toxins.

FUJIFILM Dimatix announced that a research team at McMaster University in Hamilton, Ontario, working with Canada's SENTINEL Bioactive Paper Network, has used its DMP-2800 Dimatix Materials Printer to develop a new inkjet method for printing bioactive inks (bioinks) on paper strips used to detect harmful substances that can make animals or humans sick or be used as bioterrorism agents (see also FUJIFILM Dimatix, Inc.).

The researchers successfully used the novel inkjet-printed biosensors to quickly and easily detect two test neurotoxins both visually with the naked eye and by using a digital camera and image analysis software. The paper-based sensors provided ...
