    Abstract

    This paper reports a paper-based microfluidic competitive immunoassay for the detection of mephedrone, a new psychoactive substance (NPS). Using the proposed system, limits of detection of 4.078 μg mL-1 and 1.597 μg mL-1 for aqueous mephedrone and spiked urine samples, respectively, were obtained, with these values enabling the detection of clinically relevant concentrations of mephedrone. The proposed device has the opportunity to provide rapid, on-site testing, within either a forensic or clinical setting, for NPSs.
