This project investigates the liquid transfer efficiency of custom-designed blister packs for point-of-care (POC) microfluidic devices. It aims to quantify the percentage of reagent successfully transferred into device reservoirs and assess how blister pack design influences reagent release. By optimizing liquid transfer, this research will contribute to the development of efficient, user-friendly blister packs that enhance the reliability and usability of POC diagnostic systems.
