A Portable and Power-Free Microfluidic Device for Rapid and Sensitive Lead (Pb2+) Detection
نویسندگان
چکیده
A portable and power-free microfluidic device was designed for rapid and sensitive detection of lead (Pb(2+)). 11-mercaptoundecanoic acid (MUA)-functionalized gold nanoparticles (MUA-AuNPs) aggregated in the presence of Pb(2+) for the chelation mechanism. When we performed this analysis on a polydimethylsiloxane (PDMS) microfluidic chip, the aggregations deposited onto the surface of chip and formed dark lines along the laminar flows in the zigzag microchannels. This visual result can be observed by the naked eye through a microscope or just a drop of water as a magnifier. Ten μM Pb(2+) was successfully detected.

A miniaturized lead sensor has been developed by combining a lead-specific DNAzyme with a microfabricated device containing a network of microfluidic channels that are fluidically coupled via a nanocapillary array interconnect. A DNAzyme construct, selective for cleavage in the presence of Pb2+ and derivatized with fluorophore (quencher) at the 5' (3') end of the substrate and enzyme strands, r...
متن کاملRapid sub-attomole microRNA detection on a portable microfluidic chip.
Microfluidic devices are an attractive choice for meeting the requirements of point-of-care microRNA detection. A method using a microfluidic device can drastically shorten the incubation time because the device conveys sample molecules right straight to the surface-immobilized probe DNAs by hydrodynamic force. In this review, we present an overview of a new method for rapid and sensitive micro...
