Quick detection of chromium(VI)content in drinking water based on paper-based microfluidic chip
Objective To construct a method for rapid detection of chromium(VI)in drinking water on a paper-based microfluidic chip.Methods The paper chips were manufactured by directly drawing on filter paper with a modified gel pen filled with alkylketene dimmer solution and then dried.The chromium(VI)was detected on the paper chips.Parameters influencing the chromium(VI)determination were investigated,including concentration of sulfuric acid solution and diphenyl carbamide solution,reaction time,and temperature.Results In this study,the linear range of chromium detection was 0~0.20 mg/L,the detection limit was 0.0036 mg/L,and the recovery rate was 97.7%~109.0%.It had wide linear range,high sensitivity and good repeatability.Conclusion The method has the advantages of simple operation and the accurate detection result,does not require expensive and complex large instruments,and has adaptability to simultaneous detection of multiple samples and on-site real-time detection.
