Abstract
A hybrid microfluidics device includes a substrate having a base region with a width and a length. A paper has testing regions disposed along the width of the base region. A cover has an angled relationship with the base region to form a wedge profile to provide a length-wise droplet pump effect to separately maintain channel-less regions for the testing regions.
