Highlights? A wide variety of bioreporter and biosensor assays for arsenic detection exists. ? Assay detection limits are mostly in the range of 10–50 μg As per L and below. ? New focus is on reporter integration into microdevices for more optimal detection. ? A number of case studies show realistic field applicability of bioreporter assays.
