Ultrasensitive Detection of Pb2+ Based on a DNAzyme and Digital PCR

In this study, an ultrasensitive detection method for aqueous Pb2+ based on digital polymerase chain reaction (dPCR) technology and a Pb2+-dependent DNAzyme was developed. In the presence of Pb2+, the Gr-5 DNAzyme was activated and catalyzed the hydrolytic cleavage of the substrate strand, resulting...
