Description
Natalia Binti Ali and co-authors review pocket-sized gene-based sensors for watching the sea, in this 2026 paper. Oceans face heavy metals, algal toxins, germs, and drug-resistance genes, while standard tests stay in the lab. CRISPR-based detection can sense vanishingly small traces, and microfluidic chips supply the plumbing to run it in the field.
The review covers all four target classes, chip designs, and readouts, with head-to-head performance checks. Few systems have yet been proven in real seawater, the authors warn. Fouling, multi-target testing, and shared standards remain open work before such sensors can patrol coasts on their own.
