About
Andres W. Martinez is a pioneer in the field of paper-based analytical devices, with a particular focus on developing low-cost, portable platforms for biochemical analysis. His major contributions center on the creation of "paper microzone plates," which serve as versatile tools for high-throughput screening and enzyme stabilization studies. In his most cited work (30 citations), Martinez demonstrated the use of these plates, combined with a noncontact liquid handling robot, to systematically investigate the stability of horseradish peroxidase (HRP) when stored on paper. He specifically explored how trehalose and SU-8 epoxy novolac resin enhance enzyme longevity, providing critical insights for preserving biological reagents in resource-limited settings. This work exemplifies his broader impact in advancing point-of-care diagnostics and analytical chemistry, where his innovations have enabled robust, field-deployable assays. Martinez’s research has been instrumental in bridging the gap between laboratory-based techniques and practical applications in global health, earning him recognition as a leader in sustainable analytical tools. His contributions continue to inspire new approaches to low-cost, paper-based sensing and bioanalysis.
