(a) Paper-based measurement of Fe, Ni, and Cr compared with independent validation by ICP-OES. A linear regression fit favorably compares the accuracy of the µPAD method with ICP-OES (slope = ~0.99). Cu was present below the detection limits of both measurement methods and was thus not presented. (b) An expanded view of the graph above shows that on small a smaller mass scale, method correlation is slightly worse (R 2 = ~ 0.98), however this value is still within acceptable limits.
