Development of Novel and Highly Specific ssDNA-Aptamer-Based Electrochemical Biosensor for Rapid Detection of Mercury (II) and Lead (II) Ions in Water

In this work, we report on the development of an electrochemical biosensor for high selectivity and rapid detection of Hg<sup>2+</sup> and Pb<sup>2+</sup> ions using DNA-based specific aptamer probes labeled with ferrocene (or methylene blue) and thiol groups at their 5&#...
