A simple colorimetric device for rapid detection of Hg2+ in water.

چکیده
A 'turn-on' fluorescent colorimetric device for Hg(2+) sensing was built using a dual light-emitting diode system. Fluorescence generated from a rhodamine derivative (RHD), an indicator for Hg(2+) sensing, was combined with a background red light, and the complex light was captured by a commercial charge coupled device camera or by the naked eye.

A Portable Smart-Phone Readout Device for the Detection of Mercury Contamination Based on an Aptamer-Assay Nanosensor
The detection of environmental mercury (Hg) contamination requires complex and expensive instruments and professional technicians. We present a simple, sensitive, and portable Hg2+ detection system based on a smartphone and colorimetric aptamer nanosensor. A smartphone equipped with a light meter app was used to detect, record, and process signals from a smartphone-based microwell reader (MR S-...
متن کاملRadial Flow Assay Using Gold Nanoparticles and Rolling Circle Amplification to Detect Mercuric Ions
A novel colorimetric assay employing oligonucleotide-conjugated gold nanoparticle (AuNP probes) and rolling circle amplification (RCA) was developed for simple detection of mercuric ions (Hg2+). The thymine-Hg2+-thymine (T-Hg2+-T) coordination chemistry makes our detection system selective for Hg2+. In the presence of Hg2+, the thymine 12-mer oligonucleotide is unable to act as a primer for RCA...
متن کاملA Highly Sensitive and Selective Colorimetric Hg2+ Ion Probe Using Gold Nanoparticles Functionalized with Polyethyleneimine
A highly sensitive and selective colorimetric assay for the detection of Hg2+ ions was developed using gold nanoparticles (AuNPs) conjugated with polyethyleneimine (PEI). The Hg2+ ion coordinates with PEI, decreasing the interparticle distance and inducing aggregation. Time-of-flight secondary ion mass spectrometry showed that the Hg2+ ion was bound to the nitrogen atoms of the PEI in a bidenta...

Objective (s): In light of misuse of antibiotics in animal husbandry and their side effects on human health, there is an argent need to develop simple and rapid methods for determining the quantification of antibiotics in biological systems. Materials and Methods: In this work a facile and ultrasensitive colorimetric aptasensor was reported for detection of oxytetracycline (OTC) in water and mi...
متن کاملColorimetric Hg2+ detection with a label-free and fully DNA-structured sensor assembly incorporating G-quadruplex halves.
A sensitive and fully DNA-structured ion sensor was built by integrating polyT sequences for highly selective Hg2+ recognitions and two flanking G-quadruplex halves for allosteric signal transductions. The construction of this sensor was very easy that allowed a cost-effective detection of Hg2+ with a limit of detection of 4.5 nM, which was lower than the 10 nM toxic level for drinkable water a...
