We have developed a chip-based scanometric method for the detection of mercuric ion
(Hg2+). This method takes advantage of the cooperative binding and catalytic properties of …

We report a sensitive method for visual detection of mercury ions (II)(Hg 2+) in aqueous
solution by using gold nanoparticles (Au-NPs) and thymine (T)-rich hairpin DNA probes. The …

An approach for visual and fluorescent sensing of Hg2+ in aqueous solution is presented.
This method is based on the Hg2+-induced conformational change of a thymine (T)-rich …

A test strip, based on DNA-functionalized gold nanoparticles for Hg2+ detection, has been
developed, optimized and validated. The developed colorimetric mercury sensor system …

We report a simple and sensitive aptamer-based colorimetric detection of mercury ions (Hg
2+) using unmodified gold nanoparticles as colorimetric probe. It is based on the fact that …

We report a highly sensitive electrochemical sensor for the detection of Hg2+ ions in
aqueous solution by using a thymine (T)-rich, mercury-specific oligonucleotide (MSO) probe …

We have developed a sensitive, selective, and simple fluorescence spectrometric sensor for
Hg 2+ detection in aqueous solution by using thiol-DNA-functionalized gold nanoparticles …

Freddy YC Boey, and Xiaodong Chen* surface-to-volume ratio gives unusual target binding …

Detecting small molecular targets such as metal ions is just as important as detecting large
molecules such as DNA, RNA and proteins, but the field of metal ion sensors has not yet …

Heavy metal ion pollution poses severe risks in human health and the environment. Driven
by the need to detect trace amounts of mercury, this article demonstrates, for the first time …
