LATERAL FLOW TEST STRIPS FOR HG2+ IONS DETECTION BASED ON COMBINATION OF OLIGONUCLEOTIDE-MODIFIED GOLD NANOPARTICLES AND CHELATION BY GLUTATHIONE

Abstract

The environment requires special attention due to the development of the industry, the transition to industrial automation, battery use and human waste disposal. At the same time, the development of analytical test systems makes it possible to determine the content of various contaminants and regulate their entry into the surrounding world. However, a number of toxic contaminants can accumulate in the environment (water, soil) and cause long-term toxic effects on living organisms, including humans. Therefore, the analytical techniques being developed (colorimetric, electrochemical, chromatographic etc.) and the laboratory methods (ICP-MS, ICP-AES) of their analysis existing in practice are in demand.
