This study aimed at developing a portable multi-channel turbidity system (21 cm in length, 15.5 cm in width and 11.5 cm in depth) by real-time loop-mediated isothermal amplification (LAMP) method for rapid detection of pathogens. The developed system herein includes temperature control unit, photoelectric detection unit, turbidity calibration unit, power management unit, human machine unit, communication unit and ARM-based microcontroller. The coefficient of variation for eight channels is less than 0.25% in noise analysis. Legionella bacteria (LEG) and H7 subtype virus (H7) were successively detected by the designed and developed system within 60 minutes. Moreover, its specificity for LEG is satisfactory and its sensitivity for H7 is 10 copies/mL. Besides, this system for point-of-care diagnosis allows a rapid, small size, low cost, and automatic detection with the characteristics of high-efficiency, excellent stability and high uniformity.

Physical unclonable functions (PUFs) are emerging as a cutting-edge technology for enhancing information security by providing robust security authentication and non-reproducible cryptographic keys. Incorporating renewable and biocompatible materials into PUFs ensures safety for handling, compatibility with biological systems, and reduced environmental impact. However, existing PUF platforms struggle to balance high encoding capacity, diversified encryption signatures, and versatile functionalities with sustainability and biocompatibility.

Simultaneous, non-invasive measurement of CBF and CBV at different brain locations would advance cerebrovascular monitoring and pave the way for brain injury detection, as current brain injury diagnostic methods are often constrained by high costs, limited sensitivity, and reliance on subjective symptom reporting. This study's aim is to develop a multi-channel non-invasive optical system for measuring CBF and CBV at different regions of the brain simultaneously with a cost-effective, reliable, and scalable system capable of detecting potential differences in CBF and CBV across different regions of the brain.

Portable and affordable (spectro)photometers based on digital color sensors are gaining significance in analytical chemistry due to their compact design, cost-effectiveness and integration capabilities. Despite their inherent straight-forward operation, various digital light sensors with distinct performance and optical characteristics are available on the market. For instance, AS7341 and AS7262 are multi-channel color sensors that covers eight and six spectra regions, respectively, while TCS34725 operates using three channels (red, green, and blue).

Nanoplastics present a significant hazard to both the environment and human health. However, the development of rapid and sensitive analysis techniques for nanoplastics is limited by their small size, lack of specificity, and low concentrations. In this study, a surface-enhanced Raman scattering (SERS) chessboard substrate was introduced as a multi-channel platform for the pre-concentration and detection of nanoplastics, achieved by polydomain aggregating silver nanoparticles (PASN) on a hydrophilic and a punched hydrophobic PVDF combined filter membrane.
