Abstract: | We describe a paper-based chemiluminescence (CL) test for the determination of mercury(II) ion. A single-stranded DNA aptamer was first covalently immobilized via its amino groups to the hydroxy groups on the surface of cellulosic paper. The aptamer probes can capture Hg(II) ions due to their specific interaction with thymine. The CL reagent (a caboxylated phenylene-ethynylene referred to as P-acid) was immobilized on nanoporous silver (NPS@P-acid) and used a CL label on the aptamer. The stripe is then contacted with a sample containing Hg(II) ions and CL is induced by the addition of permanganate. CL intensity depends on the concentration of Hg(II) because Hg(II) increases the quantity of the P-acid-conjugated aptamer. The highly active surface of the NPS@P-acid composites results in an 8-fold higher CL intensity compared to the use of pure P-acid. This enables Hg(II) ion to be quantified in the 20 nM to 0.5 μM concentration range, with a limit of detection as low as 1 pM. This CL aptasensor is deemed to represent a promising tool for simple, rapid, and sensitive detection of Hg(II). Figure ? |
