About
Cory A. Chaplan’s research centers on the intersection of paper-based microfluidics, enzyme stabilization, and analytical chemistry. His most cited work introduces paper microzone plates as a versatile platform for studying enzyme stability, using a noncontact liquid handling robot to precisely investigate how additives like trehalose and SU-8 epoxy novolac resin preserve horseradish peroxidase activity. This contribution is significant because it provides a low-cost, high-throughput method for optimizing enzyme storage conditions—critical for point-of-care diagnostics and biosensors that rely on stable biorecognition elements. With 30 citations, this 2017 study has become a foundational reference for researchers developing paper-based analytical devices. Chaplan’s work demonstrates a practical approach to overcoming enzyme degradation challenges, directly impacting the design of more robust and field-deployable diagnostic tools. His achievements highlight a talent for merging materials science with analytical method development, offering students and researchers a clear example of how fundamental stability studies can enable real-world applications in global health and environmental monitoring.
