In the last few decades, scientificresearch has been trying to offer valid and reliable solutions to replace or support conventionaltechniques, in order to facilitate drug development procedures. These innovative approaches mayhave extremely positive effects in the production chain, supplying fast and cost-effective qualityand safety tests on active pharmaceutical ingredients and their excipients. In this context, theexploitation of electrochemical paper-based analytical devices is still in its infancy, but particularlypromising for its fascinating properties in the detection of active pharmaceutical ingredientsand excipients in tablets, capsules, suppositories, and injections, as well as for pharmacokineticbioanalysis in real samples.
