On-site Detection of Contaminants with Portable Device
The paper “Portable Device for Dual Detection of Fluorescence and Absorbance for Biosensing or Chemical Sensing Applications” [1] discusses the development of a compact
Bioengineered phytoplankton for heavy metal pollution detection
How can bioengineered phytoplankton make water quality monitoring more effective? Detecting and measuring heavy metals (HMs) in water typically involves lab-based analysis of sampl
Marine biosensing for contaminants of emerging concern
Contaminants of Emerging Concern (CECs) are increasingly found in our waters, threatening marine ecosystems and food webs. With new global and EU initiatives to combat these pollut
From Lab to Lake: Immuno – SAW sensing for organic contaminants and biotoxins
Human health and natural ecosystems face significant risks from increasing anthropogenic marine and freshwater pollution. The AquaBioSens project aims to tackle this problem by dev
How Molecular Sensors could alleviate the cost and delay of water quality analysis
Natural water systems are regularly subject to contamination with harmful microorganisms. Sometimes these are natural events that propagate for a short time and subside. However, i
