Area of Science:

  • Environmental Science
  • Analytical Chemistry
  • Materials Science

Background:

  • Heavy metal ions in soil, air, and water pose a global environmental threat, accumulating in the food chain and causing chronic diseases.
  • Current heavy metal detection methods lack sensitivity, portability, and cost-effectiveness for on-site analysis.
  • There is a critical need for advanced devices for rapid, reliable detection of heavy metal contamination.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To validate the device's capability for on-site water pollution analysis.

Main Methods:

  • Fabrication of a plastic microfluidic chip using photolithography of dry photosensitive layers.
  • Immobilization of DNAzymes between platinum nanoparticles (PtNPs) for electrochemical sensing.
  • Utilizing the developed device for the selective detection of lead ions (Pb2+).

Main Results:

  • Successful development of a fast and easy-to-implement fabrication method for the microfluidic device.
  • Demonstration of selective heavy metal ion detection using immobilized DNAzymes and PtNPs.
  • Proof-of-concept validation with the detection of Pb2+ ions in a prototype device.

Conclusions:
