title: Portable and quantitative monitoring of mercury ions using DNA-gated mesoporous silica nanoparticles using a glucometer readout.
abstract: A novel glucometer biosensor was developed for the quantitative detection of mercury ions (Hg(2+)) based on glucose-loaded DNA-gated mesoporous silica nanoparticles (MSNs).
