Smartphone Coupled with a Paper-Based Colorimetric Device for Sensitive and Portable Mercury Ion Sensing

Abstract: The rapid development of information and communication technology provides an opportunity for scientists to develop a quantitative analytical method that is built on a mobile gadget as a detector. In this paper, we report a low-cost, simple and portable analytical method for mercury ion quantification based on digital image colorimetry coupled with a smartphone application. A small amount of silver nanoparticles (AgNPs) was used as a colorimetric agent that is selective only to mercury ions. The yellowish brow… Show more

“…The change in color or fluorescence signal due to the complex formation between the metal ion and the merocyanine form can be used for the determination of low concentration of analyte with the help of UV-visible or fluorescence spectroscopy. In addition, the change in color intensity can be analyzed using the digital image based colorimetric method, which is receiving increased attention owing to easy, low cost and portable analysis of a variety of samples [36][37][38]. The method only requires a change in color upon addition of an analyte [36].…”

“…[16] The detection range of DIC based on a smartphone is much broader than conventional colourimetry, improving the sensitivity. [17] So far, diverse colour measurement systems have been developed due to the popularity of smartphones, such as RGB (red, green, and blue), HSV (hue, saturation, and value), CIE-Lab, and CMYK (cyan, magenta, yellow, and black). [15a,18] The application of the RGB colour space has attracted increasing attention in the image analysis system of DIC.…”
