A practical, rapid, low-cost, and largely ‘equipment-free’ point-of-care (POC) testing device for hepatotoxicity assessment is, at this juncture, unavailable/unreported. In this thesis, we will describe our effort towards the design and realization of this POC device – two lab-on-a-chip (LOC) syste...
