Abstract
Environmental pollution and medicine safety have aroused increasing public concerns due to human health. Amongst various contaminants, mercury is of special attention owing to their environmental persistence and biogeochemical recycling and ecological risks. Herein, a simple and highly parallel electrochemical biosensor for Hg determination was designed and investigated. The proposed biosensor was prepared and compared between (1) DTT/MB-DNA/Au with configuration occupation approach and (2) MCH/MB-DNA/Au with passivation approach. According to the combined results of scanning electrochemical microscope (SECM) and Randles-Sevcik equation, the DTT modified electrode exhibited high uniformity on DNA distribution and superb stability on electron transfer in Hg2+ detection. Evidentially, the response value of proposed DTT/MB-DNA/Au was increased from 57.518% to 97.607%, while RSD% between duplicate runs had dropped from 22.658% to 0.223% (n = 3). Moreover, the increased proportion of effective working area was 467.380% compared with general sensors. Besides, DTT concentration, DNA concentration as well as assembly time were optimized, utilizing electrochemical impedance spectroscopy (EIS), Cyclic Voltammetry (CV) and Square Wave Anode Stripping Voltammetry (SWASV). This optimized biosensor exhibited an excellent selectivity toward Hg2+ over Cu2+, As2+, Cd2+, Pb2+, Cr3+, Ni2+ and Zn2+ etc., and the stability of DTT/MB-DNA/Au were at least two times better even after 3 days under room temperature. Also, a linear relation was observed between the peak current and Hg2+concentrations in a range from 0.25 nM to 2.00 μM with a detection limit of 53.00 pM under optimal conditions. Finally, DTT/MB-DNA/Au was applied for plants and medical products analysis. In all, this optimized DTT/MB-DNA/Au with advantages of high repeatability and sensitivity would provide a new insight into the design and application of biosensor for reliable sensing in safeguarding plant protection and medicinal safety.

Abstract
The determination of metal ions is important for nutritional and toxicological assessment. Atomic spectrometric techniques are highly efficient for the determination of these species, but the high costs of acquisition and maintenance hinder the application of these techniques. Inexpensive alternatives for metallic element determination are based on dedicated biosensors. These devices mimic biological systems and convert biochemical processes into physical outputs and can be used for the sensitive and selective determination of chemical species such as cations. In this work, an overview of the proposed biosensors for metal ions determination was carried out considering the last 15 years of publications. Statistical data on the applications, response mechanisms, instrumentation designs, applications of nanomaterials, and multielement analysis are herein discussed.

Trends in sensor development toward next-generation point-of-care testing for mercury. Biosens Bioelectron 2021; 183:113228. [PMID: 33862396 DOI: 10.1016/j.bios.2021.113228] [Citation(s) in RCA: 25] [Impact Index Per Article: 8.3] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 03/08/2021] [Revised: 04/02/2021] [Accepted: 04/03/2021] [Indexed: 01/01/2023]
Abstract
Mercury is one of the most common heavy metals and a major environmental pollutant that affects ecosystems. Since mercury and its compounds are toxic to humans, even at low concentrations, it is very important to monitor mercury contamination in water and foods. Although conventional mercury detection methods, including inductively coupled plasma mass spectrometry, atomic absorption spectroscopy, and gas chromatography-mass spectrometry, exhibit excellent sensitivity and accuracy, they require operation by an expert in a sophisticated and fully controlled laboratory environment. To overcome these limitations and realize point-of-care testing, many novel methods for direct sample analysis in the field have recently been developed by improving the speed and simplicity of detection. Commonly, these unconventional sensors rely on colorimetric, fluorescence, or electrochemical mechanisms to transduce signals from mercury. In the case of colorimetric and fluorescent sensors, benchtop methods have gradually evolved through technology convergence to give standalone platforms, such as paper-based assays and lab-on-a-chip systems, and portable measurement devices, such as smartphones. Electrochemical sensors that use screen-printed electrodes with carbon or metal nanomaterials or hybrid materials to improve sensitivity and stability also provide promising detection platforms. This review summarizes the current state of sensor platforms for the on-field detection of mercury with a focus on key features and recent developments. Furthermore, trends for next-generation mercury sensors are suggested based on a paradigm shift to the active integration of cutting-edge technologies, such as drones, systems based on artificial intelligence, machine learning, and three-dimensional printing, and high-quality smartphones.

Abstract
A facile, sensitive and unmodified Hg2+ homogeneous electrochemical sensor based on bisferrocene signal markers and catalytic hairpin self-assembly (CHA) was built on a gold disk electrode. Three hairpin probes were designed, in which thiol was labeled at both ends of the hairpin probe 1(HP1), while bisferrocene, a redox signal marker, was labeled at both ends of the hairpin probe 2(HP2) and hairpin probe 3(HP3). Due to the Hg2+ mediated thymine-Hg (II)-thymine (T-Hg2+-T) structure, when Hg2+ is introduced, the T-Hg2+-T that occurred between the probe DNA and helper DNA could open the hairpin structure of probe DNA and form a rigid DNA triangles structure by CHA. Simultaneously, four bisferrocene signal markers also reached the surface of the electrode and built potential-assisted Au-S self-assembly to achieve signal amplification. Under the optimized condition, the sensor can achieve good electrochemical response Hg2+detection, and the detection limit is as low as 0.6 pM. furthermore, this sensor has high selectivity for Hg2+ detection.

Abstract
In this work, an unmodified homogeneous electrochemical sensor based on electrochemical bonding and catalytic hairpin assembly (CHA) was first constructed for the high sensitivity detection of Hg2+. Herein, tetraferrocene, a synthesized compound, was used as a signal marker that modified both ends of the hairpin probe to amplify the electrochemical signal. The interaction of T-Hg2+-T could induce the catalytic self-assembly of hairpins by means of auxiliary DNA. The rigid DNA triangle that was formed easily reaches the electrode and induced Au-S self-assembly assisted by potential, allowing tetraferrocene to reach the electrode surface and generate a sensitive electrochemical signal. CHA and tetraferrocene signal markers accomplished dual signal amplification, and the limit of detection was 0.12 pM. Differential pulse voltammetry experiments in the presence of tetraferrocene redox indicator show that the linear response range of electrochemical biosensors to mercury ions is 0.2-2000 pM, This technology offers good selectivity and high recognition efficiency for the detection of mercury ions and has broad application prospects in actual sample detection.

Abstract
The global occurrence of toxic hazards in aquatic ecosystems has aroused concern about the potential impacts on the ecological environment and human health in recent decades. Mercury(II) ions that originate from widespread sources including the mining industry, fossil fuel consumption, and industrial wastes are now well known as a highly toxic pollutant. Despite various detection methods which have been reported to sense Hg2+, it still poses a great challenge for us to develop a new effective sensing platform to replenish current fluorescent detection techniques. Here, we report a novel fluorescent biosensor using bamboo-like magnetic carbon nanotubes (BMCNTs) and FAM-labeled T-rich ssDNA for efficient detection of Hg2+ in aqueous solution. The proposed biosensor shows a good response toward Hg2+ detection over a linear response range of 0.05~1 μM (R2 = 0.98) with a detection limit of 20 nM. It also exhibits the capability to discriminate Hg2+ ions with negligible response to other metal ions, such as Ca2+, Cd2+, Cu2+, Mg2+, Mn2+, Ni2+, Pb2+, and Zn2+. Interestingly, the BMCNTs could be separated and recycled easily by using an external magnet, which means a much more cost-effective, easy-to-operate, and eco-friendly method for Hg2+ ion detection.

Abstract
A sensitive and visible colorimetric strategy was proposed for Hg2+ detection by thymine-Hg2+-thymine (T-Hg2+-T) coordination chemistry and entropy driven catalytic reaction. The entropy driven catalytic reaction is induced by T-Hg2+-T coordination chemistry, resulting the releasing of G-riched sequence. Hemin/G-quadruplex-HRP-mimicking DNAzyme can be formed with the help of hemin, catalyzing TMB to TMB+ with a color change from colorless to blue. The sensitivity of this strategy can be reached to 2 pM, which is significantly improved by entropy driven catalytic reaction. In addition, entropy driven catalytic reaction provides a more reliable and accurate results. This method shows great promise for on-site analysis and in-house diagnosis of Hg2+ in water.

Abstract
Heavy metal contamination in environment and food has attracted intensive attention from the public since it poses serious threats to ecological system and human health. Traditional detection methods for heavy metals such as atomic absorption spectrometry have a fairly low detection limit, but the methods have many limitations and disadvantages. Therefore, it is of significance to develop a rapid technology for real-time and online detection of heavy metals. The electrochemical aptasensor-based technology is promising in the detection of heavy metals with advantages of high sensitivity, specificity, and accuracy. Although its development is rapid, more researches should be carried out before this technology can be used for on-site detection. In this review, the origin, basic principles and development of electrochemical aptasensors are introduced. The applications of nanomaterials and electrochemical aptasensors for the detection of heavy metals (mainly mercury, lead, cadmium, and arsenic) are summarized. The research and application tendency of electrochemical aptasensors for detection of heavy metals are prospected.

Abstract
A uranyl detection strategy with ultra-sensitivity was developed based on entropy-driven amplification and DNAzyme circular cleavage amplification. The cleavage of UO22+-specific DNAzyme produces a DNA fragment to initiate the entropy-driven amplification. Two DNA sequences released from the entropy-driven amplification are partly complementary. They can form an entire enzyme strand (E-DNA) of Mg2+-specific DNAzyme. The formed E-DNA can circularly cleave FAM-labeled probes on gold nanoparticles (AuNPs), causing the leaving of FAM from AuNPs and recovery of fluorescent signal. A linear relationship was obtained in the range from 30 pM to 5 nM between fluorescence intensity and concentration of UO22+. The limit of detection was low to 13 pM. This method showed a promising future for practical application in real water samples.

Ultrasensitive impedimetric mercury(II) sensor based on thymine-Hg(II)-thymine interaction and subsequent disintegration of multiple sandwich-structured DNA chains. Mikrochim Acta 2018; 185:555. [PMID: 30465290 DOI: 10.1007/s00604-018-3097-7] [Citation(s) in RCA: 7] [Impact Index Per Article: 1.2] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 07/23/2018] [Accepted: 11/15/2018] [Indexed: 02/07/2023]
Abstract
An impedimetric method is described for ultrasensitive analysis of mercury(II). It is based on thymine-Hg(II)-thymine interaction which causes the disintegration of multiple-sandwich structured DNA chains. DNA strands were selected that are partially complementary to the T-rich Hg(II)-specific oligonucleotides (MSO). They were immobilized on a gold electrode via Au-S interaction. Next, the MSO and the bridging strands (BS) that can connect adjacent MSOs were alternately attached through layer-by-layer hybridization. Thus, a multiple-sandwich structured interface in created that carries numerous MSOs. This leads to a change-transfer resistance (Rct) values of the electrode-electrolyte interface at faradic electrochemical impedance spectroscopy measurements in the presence of the hexacyanoferrate(II)/(III) redox probe at 0.2 V (vs. Ag/AgCl). If Hg(II) is added to the solution, the MSOs selectively interact with Hg(II) to produce T-Hg(II)-T structures. Hence, the multiple-sandwich hybridization chains become disintegrated, and this causes a decrease in resistivity. The effect can be used to quantify Hg(II) over an analytical range that extends over four orders of magnitude (1 fM to 10 pM), and it has a 0.16 fM limit of detection under optimal conditions. Graphical abstract An electrochemical sensor for femtomolar level detection of Hg2+ is realized on the basis of thymine-Hg2+-thymine interaction which causes disintegration of multiple sandwich DNA hybridization strands.
