A simple and rapid positive–negative colorimetric approach to determine the presence of antimony ions based on the use of gold nanoparticles conjugated with oligonucleotide (poly-A sequence) is developed. Colorimetric measurements reveal that the aggregates of modified gold nanoparticles were afforded after adding antimony ions, thus changing the solution color from pink to blue. The results of aptamer’s interaction on the gold nanoparticle surface with the target analyte can be detected either by photometry or by the naked eye. The realized assay provides rapid (2 min), sensitive (detection limit 10 ng/mL), specific, and precise (variation coefficient less than 3.8%) detection of antimony (III) in drinking water.

A simple, fast and reliable colorimetric method for melamine detection based on gold nanoparticles (AuNPs) and poly-thymine (poly-T) is reported. Poly-T strands attract AuNPs through static electricity and keep them stable against aggregation in the presence of NaCl. The affinity between melamine and poly-T, hydrogen bond, frees AuNP from the protection provided by poly-T and thus makes AuNPs aggregate in the presence of NaCl. The color change of AuNPs from wine red to blue can be observed immediately by the naked eye during the aggregation process, and can be accurately recorded with the help of a UV/vis spetrophotometer within 5 minutes. The limit of detection (LOD) of melamine in pure water is 0.146 μmol/L with a linear range from 0.2×10-7 mol/L to 10.0×10-7 mol/L. In fresh milk and milk powder, the LOD is respectively as low as 2.37 μmol/L and 5.36 μmol/L.
