Plastics- and rubber-derived chemicals are given increasing focus due to their migration into the environment and potential for causing detrimental effects. The current study demonstrates the use of a novel biomonitoring platform using caged fertilized eggs of lumpfish () in combination with gas chromatography tandem mass spectrometry analysis of a selection of target chemicals extracted from the lumpfish eggs after deployment. A monitoring campaign in the Trondheim harbor and off the coast of Trøndelag in Norway was executed using the described system. Here we found accumulation of UV stabilizers (benzophenone and benzothiazoles), plasticizers (-butylbenzenesulfonamide), reagents, and polymer synthesis precursors (bisphenol A, acetophenone, phthalide, and phthalimide) in deployed eggs. Several of the compounds were detected in concentrations above previously quantified legacy contaminants in the same study areas.

In three-dimensional (3D)-printed tissue models, sensitive, noninvasive techniques are required to detect changes in hydrogel structure caused by cellular remodeling. We demonstrate herein that circular dichroism (CD) spectroscopy provides a reliable method for detecting hydrogel structural variations. We probe directly the plasmonic optical activity of chiral gold nanorods (c-AuNRs) embedded within the hydrogel matrix, in response to variations in the local environment.

Adenosine 5'-triphosphate (ATP) plays a pivotal role as an essential intermediate in energy metabolism, influencing nearly all biological metabolic processes. Cancer cells predominantly rely on glycolysis for ATP production, differing significantly from normal cells. Real-time in situ monitoring and rapid response to intracellular ATP levels offers more valuable insights into cancer cell physiology.

The functional performance of a particulate thin film depends greatly on the particle distribution that forms during drying. In situ methods for monitoring the impact of different processing parameters on the distribution of particles currently require expensive and specialized equipment. This work addresses this gap by miniaturizing a geophysical prospecting method to thin-film applications.

Reactive oxygen species (ROS) play fundamental roles in various biological and chemical processes in nature and industries, including cell signaling, disease development and aging, immune defenses, environmental remediation, pharmaceutical syntheses, metal corrosion, energy production, etc. As such, their detection is of paramount importance, but their accurate identification and quantification are technically challenging due to their transient nature with short lifetimes and low steady-state concentrations. As a highly sensitive and selective analytical technique, surface-enhanced Raman spectroscopy (SERS) is promising for detecting ROS in real-time, enabling in situ monitoring of ROS-involved electrochemical and biochemical events with exceptional resolution.

Since recent years, an increasingly large number of toxic chemicals enters watercourses threatening freshwater biodiversity. But ecological studies still poorly document the quantitative patterns linking exposure to complex mixture of toxic chemicals and species communities' integrity in the field. In this context, French monitoring authorities have recently deployed at a national scale in situ biotests using the feeding inhibition of the crustacean Gammarus as toxicity indicator.
