Surface water tracing is a widely used technique to investigate in-stream mass transport including contaminant migration. Recently, a microparticle tracer was developed with unique synthetic DNA encapsulated in an environmentally-friendly silica coating (Si-DNA microparticle). Previous tracing applications of such tracers reported detection...

Recently, superparamagnetic silica encapsulated DNA microparticles (SiDNAFe) were designed and in various experiments used as a hydrological tracer. We investigated the effect of bed characteristics on the transport behaviour and especially the mass loss of SiDNAFe in open channel injection experiments. Hereto, a series of laboratory...

Rivers are vital for maintaining freshwater ecosystems as they distribute nutrients as well as dilute and transport anthropogenic pollution. Tracers provide direct empirical data on complex waterflows and reveal transport processes of waterborne substances. Recent advances in material engineering and biomolecular technology have made it possible...
