Development of an Aptamer Based Luminescent Optical Fiber Sensor for the Continuous Monitoring of Hg<sup>2+</sup> in Aqueous Media

A fluorescent optical fiber sensor for the detection of mercury (Hg<sup>2+</sup>) ions in aqueous solutions is presented in this work. The sensor was based on a fluorophore-labeled thymine (T)-rich oligodeoxyribonucleotide (ON) sequence that was directly immobilized onto the tip of a tap...
