Merging Office/Filter Paper-Based Tools For Pre-Concentring And Detecting Heavy Metals In Drinking Water

A novel miniaturized and sustainable platform exploiting two merged paper-based substrates has been applied for the programmable pre-concentration of analytes of interest and electrochemical detection of mercury traces in drinking water using printable sensor strips. This strategy represents a novel versatile possibility in merging humble materials maximizing their impacts on analytical and remediation challenges.
