Abstract

<abstract abstract-type="toc"> <title> <x xml:space="preserve">Abstract</x> </title> <p> <graphic position="anchor" id="ga" xlink:href="ark:/27927/pgj2b33gfnn" xlink:type="simple" xmlns:xlink="http://www.w3.org/1999/xlink" />A Cu²⁺-specific reversible chemosensor capable of showing a naked eye detectable instant change in colour in the presence of as low as 30 ppb of Cu²⁺ was designed. Utilizing brine shrimp <italic>Artemia</italic>, the LOD could be improved further to 10 ppb through bio-accumulation of Cu²⁺.</p> </abstract>
