Smartphones are ubiquitous in modern society; 2021, the number of active subscriptions surpassed 6 billion. These devices have become more than a means communication; smartphones powerful, continuously connected, miniaturized computers capable passively and actively collecting (private) information for us from us. Their implementation as detectors or instrumental interfaces emerging smartphone-based (bio)sensors (SbSs) has facilitated shift towards portable point-of-care platforms healthcare...
The amalgamation of computer-like capabilities and portability modern smartphones has fuelled their implementation as detectors interfaces in emerging smartphone-based (bio)sensors (SbSs) for e.g. healthcare, point-of-need, food safety, environmental science, forensics systems. SbSs intrinsically carry great potential consumer diagnostics, future ‘citizen science’ approaches, which have far-reaching implications the technological, legal, ethical aspects associated with research, development,...
Interband cascade lasers (ICL) are high output power mid-infrared light sources with low consumption, serving as a viable alternative to more commonly applied quantum lasers. The integration of ICLs thin-film waveguides facilitates miniaturized sensing platforms based on the principles evanescent field absorption toward tailorable high-fidelity portable (MIR) solutions for on-site chemical analysis. analytical performance MIR system is presented combining tunable interband laser emitting at...
The increasing demand for food and feed products is stretching the capacity of value chain to its limits. A key step ensuring safety checking mycotoxin contamination wheat. However, this analysis typically performed by rather complex expensive chromatographic methods, such as liquid chromatography-tandem mass spectrometry (LC-MS/MS). These costly methods require extensive sample preparation that not easily carried out at different points along supply chain. To overcome challenges in...
Abstract Mycotoxins are amongst the most prevalent food contaminants leading to serious health implications for humans and animals. Limiting exposure them within population remains a pressing safety challenge. Prevention timely detection crucial minimising mycotoxin contamination in feed. Therefore easy-to-use, rapid, eco-friendly low-cost screening methods increasingly implemented. Early-stage end-user engagement technological development process aids guides research towards increased...
