Patterns from dried drops as a characterisation and healthcare diagnosis technique, potential and challenges: A review

The objective of this review is to investigate the use of patterns from dried drops as a characterisation and diagnosis technique. The patterns left behind by dried drops of various complex fluids are categorised. The potential applications of these patterns are presented, focussing primarily on healthcare, where the future impact could be greatest. A discussion on the limitations which must be overcome and prospective works that may be carried out to allow for widespread implementation of this technique is presented in conclusion.PMID:34717206 | DOI:10.1016/j.cis.2021.102546
