要旨

Physical adsorption techniques used for the detection of Hg2+ have characteristic disadvantages that compromise the Hg2+ sensitivity, and thus present false signals that affect the resulting outcome. Here, in order to avoid the aforementioned drawbacks and improve detection sensitivity, a single-stranded DNA sequence modified with an amino group and FAM (carboxyfluorescein) was immobilized onto the surface of graphene oxide (GO). A co-anchor strand with an amino group was then attached to further develop the sensor, which resulted in an improved efficiency of DNA sequence immobilization onto the GO surface and an improvement in the limit of detection of Hg2+. The detection limit was found to be 2.52 nM in this study.

Analytical Methods welcomes early applications of new analytical and bioanalytical methods and technology demonstrating the potential for societal impact. We require that methods and technology reported in the journal are sufficiently innovative, robust, accurate, and compared to other available methods for the intended application. Developments with interdisciplinary approaches are particularly welcome. Systems should be proven with suitably complex and analytically challenging samples. We encourage developments within, but not limited to, the following technologies and applications: global health, point-of-care and molecular diagnostics biosensors and bioengineering drug development and pharmaceutical analysis applied microfluidics and nanotechnology omics studies, such as proteomics, metabolomics or glycomics environmental, agricultural and food science neuroscience biochemical and clinical analysis forensic analysis industrial process and method development
