Abstract
Advanced Therapy Medicinal Products are promising drugs for patients in therapeutic impasses. Their complex fabrication process implies regular quality controls to monitor cell concentration. Among the different methods available, optical techniques offer several advantages. Our study aims to measure cell concentration in real time in a potential closed-loop environment using white light spectroscopy and to test the possibility of simultaneously measuring concentrations of several species. By analyzing the shapes of the absorption spectra, this system allowed the quantification of T-cells with an accuracy of about 3% during 30 h of cultivation monitoring and 26 h of doubling time, coherent with what is expected for normal cell culture. Moreover, our system permitted concentration measurements for two species in reconstructed co-cultures of T-cells and Candida albicans yeasts. This method can now be applied to any single or co-culture, it allows real-time monitoring, and can be easily integrated into a closed system.

Abstract
Hyperspectral imaging (HSI) records a series of two-dimensional (2D) images for different wavelengths to provide the chemical fingerprint at each pixel. Combining HSI with a tomographic data acquisition method, we can obtain the chemical fingerprint of a sample at each point in three-dimensional (3D) space. The so-called 3D HSI typically suffers from low imaging throughput due to the requirement of scanning the wavelength and rotating the beam or sample. In this paper we present an optical system which captures the entire four-dimensional (4D), i.e., 3D structure and 1D spectrum, dataset of a sample with the same throughput of conventional HSI systems. Our system works by combining snapshot projection optical tomography (SPOT) which collects multiple projection images with a single snapshot, and Fourier-transform spectroscopy (FTS) which results in superior spectral resolution by collecting and processing a series of interferogram images. Using this hyperspectral SPOT system we imaged the volumetric absorbance of dyed polystyrene microbeads, oxygenated red blood cells (RBCs), and deoxygenated RBCs. The 4D optical system demonstrated in this paper provides a tool for high-throughput chemical imaging of complex microscopic specimens.

Abstract
Fluorescent reporters have revolutionized modern applications in the fields of molecular and synthetic biology, enabling applications ranging from education to point-of-care diagnostics. Past advancements in these fields have primarily focused on improving reaction conditions, the development of new applications, and the broad dissemination of these technologies. However, field and classroom-based applications have remained limited in part due to the nature of fluorescent signal detection, which often requires the use of costly lab equipment to observe and quantify fluorescence readouts. Users without access to laboratory equipment rely on qualitative assessments of fluorescence, a process that remains highly variable from user-to-user even within the same classroom. To overcome this challenge, we have developed a foldable illuminator and incubator device to support field-applications of synthetic biology-based biosensors for education and diagnostics. The Fold-Illuminator is an affordable, portable, and recyclable device that allows for the visible detection of fluorescent biomolecules. The Fold-Illuminator's design allows for assembly in under 10 min, a user can then utilize the optional heating element to incubate biochemical reactions and visualize fluorescence outputs in a defined and light-controlled environment. Interchangeable LED strips and light-filtering screens provide modularity to pair with the fluorescence wavelengths of interest. The user can then unfold the device for convenient storage, transport, or even recycling. The cost for the Fold-Illuminator is $5.58 USD and is compatible with an optional heating element for an additional $3.98 cost, with potential for further reductions in cost for larger quantities. Open-source templates for cutting device parts from paper stock are provided for both printing and cutting by hand; cutting can also be achieved with consumer-grade smart cutting machines such as the Cricut®. Combined with the broad applications of fluorescent reporters, the Fold-Illuminator has the potential to improve access to fluorescence visualization and quantification for new users as well as emerging field applications.

Abstract
Spectrometers are widely used in molecular detection. However most of them are bulky, power consuming, and quite expensive. This work presents the prototype of a compact visible spectrometer alternative that is battery-operated, and designed for autonomous operation and quick spectrum detection. It targets spherical gold nanoparticles spectroscopy, but other applications are possible thanks to a high-precision mechanism to move the sensor, which allows the spectrometer to cover a broad range of wavelengths in the visible spectrum.
