Two types of analytical instruments and devices-one sophisticated high-performance instrument and another portable device-have been the focus of recent trends in analytical science. The necessity of point-of-care testing and onsite analysis has accelerated the advancement of high-performance, user-friendly portable analytical devices such as paper-based analytical devices (PADs) and light-emitting diode-based portable photometers. In this review, we summarize our achievements in the study of PADs and portable photometers. Several types of PADs are capable of performing titrations, metal ion analysis, and food analysis, while photometers, which consist of paired emitter-detector light-emitting diode (PEDD) photometers, are used for thiocyanate and herbicide analysis. These PADs and photometers permit the onsite determination of real environmental, body fluid, and food samples when an equipped laboratory is unavailable.
