Abstract
A disposable test card configured to accept a fluid sample for an assay, and a method of manufacturing same, is disclosed herein. In a general example embodiment, a test card for analyzing a fluid sample includes a first substrate layer including an inlet port and an outlet port, a channel layer bonded to the first substrate layer, the channel layer including a microchannel placing the inlet port in fluid communication with the outlet port, and a second substrate layer bonded to the channel layer, the second substrate layer having electrodes printed adjacent to a target zone of the microchannel of the channel layer, wherein the electrodes are configured to raise the temperature of the fluid sample within the target zone of the microchannel when a current is applied thereto.
