A high-performance aptasensor for mercury(ii) based on the formation of a unique ternary structure of aptamer–Hg2+–neutral red

Abstract

A highly sensitive and selective electrochemical aptasensor for mercury(II) has been developed based on the formation of a ternary complex between a mercury(II) specific aptamer (MSA), the neutral red (NR) molecule and the Hg2+ ion without pre-modification of the probe aptamer.
