Abstract
Recently nucleic acids gained considerable attention as selective receptors of metal ions. This is because of the possibility of adjusting their sequences in new aptamers selection, as well as the convenience of elaborating new detection mechanisms. Such a flexibility allows for easy utilization of newly emerging nanomaterials for the development of detection devices. This, in turn, can significantly increase, e.g., analytical signal intensity, both optical and electrochemical, and the same can allow for obtaining exceptionally low detection limits and fast biosensor responses. All these properties, together with low power consumption, make nucleic acids biosensors perfect candidates as detection elements of fully automatic portable microfluidic devices. This review provides current progress in nucleic acids application in monitoring environmentally and clinically important metal ions in the electrochemical or optical manner. In addition, several examples of such biosensor applications in portable microfluidic devices are shown.
