A review with 93 references describing various 3D printing approaches that have been used to create microfluidic devices containing electrodes for electrochemical detection. The use of 3D printing to fabricate microfluidic devices is a rapidly growing area. One significant research area is how to detect analytes in the devices for quantitation purposes. This review article is focused on methods used to integrate electrodes into the devices for electrochemical detection. The review is organized in terms of the methodology for integrating the electrode within the device. This includes (1) external coupling of traditional electrode materials with 3D printed devices; (2) printing conductive electrode materials as part of device printing; and (3) integrating traditional electrodes into the device as part of the print process. Example applications are given and some future directions are also outlined.
