Fluorescent nanostructured carbon dot-aptasensor for chlorpyrifos detection: Elucidating the interaction mechanism for an environmentally hazardous pollutant

ABSTRACT: Chlorpyrifos (CPF) is a commonly used insecticide found in many water sources and is related to several health and environmental effects. Biosensors based on aptamers (single-stranded nucleic acid oligonucleotides) are promising alternatives to achieve the detection of CPF and other pestic...
