“…The study of nickel based complexes for sensory exploration has gained increasing attention recently. Reports revealed that by homogeneous or heterogeneous approaches, nickel metal, inorganic nickel compounds, nickel(II)-chelating complexes, nickel-centered polymers, and nickel embedded composites exhibited promising analytical signals for amino acids [32][33][34], carbohydrates [35,36], alcohols [37], pharmaceutical products [38,39], neurotransmitters [40,41], bisphenol A [42], hydrogen peroxide [43], hydrazine [44], sulfur-containg compound [45][46][47][48]. Despite of these development, there has been no published data on the direct DNA analysis on the nickel based detector except our earlier preliminary presentation [49].…”
