[0048] The first Y-shaped channel 104 includes a main channel in the lower part and two branch channels in the upper part connected with the main channel, the lower part of the main channel is connected with the sample adding / electrochemical detection area 103, and the upper ends of the branch channels are connected with a first colorimetric detection area 105.

[0049] The sample adding / electrochemical detection area 103, the upper part of the branch channel and the first colorimetric detection area 105 are all hydrophilic regions, and other regions of the chromatography paper 1 are all hydrophobic regions.

[0050] The second Y-shaped channel 201 on the double-sided tape 2 is a Y-shaped through hole consistent in size and position with the first Y-shaped channel 104, and the second colorimetric detection area 202 is a through hole consistent in size and position with the first colorimetric detection area 105.

[0051] The third Y-shaped channel 301 on the glass fiber paper 3 is consistent in size and position with the first Y-shaped channel 104, and the third colorimetric detection area 302 is consistent in size and position with the first colorimetric detection area 105; the third Y-shaped channel 301 includes a main channel in the lower part and two branch channels in the upper part connected with the main channel, the upper part of the branch channel is a hydrophobic region, and the hydrophobic region of the third Y-shaped channel 301 is smaller than the hydrophilic region of the first Y-shaped channel 104.

[0052] Except for the upper part of the branch channel, the other parts of the third Y-shaped channel 301 and the third colorimetric detection area 302 are hydrophilic regions; except for the above-mentioned hydrophilic regions, other regions of the glass fiber paper 3 are hydrophobic regions.

[0053] The sample adding / electrochemical detection area 103 is a circle with a diameter of 10 mm, the first colorimetric detection area 105, the second colorimetric detection area 202 and the third colorimetric detection area 302 are circles with a diameter of 6 mm; the main channel of the first Y-shaped channel 104, the second Y-shaped channel 201 and the third Y-shaped channel 301 has a width of 4 mm and a length of 4.5 mm, and the branch channel has a width of 3 mm and a length of 7 mm.

As shown in Figure 3 When the glass fiber paper is used to construct the electrochemical / colorimetric dual-mode paper-based microfluidic analysis device, better colorimetric detection effect can be obtained, but the electrochemical detection performance is poor; on the contrary, when the chromatographic paper is used to construct the electrochemical / colorimetric dual-mode paper-based microfluidic analysis device, better electrochemical detection effect can be obtained, but the colorimetric detection performance is poor. Therefore, in the present application, two kinds of paper materials are innovatively integrated in one paper-based device, and the best electrochemical and colorimetric detection performance can be simultaneously realized by one sample injection. In addition, the hydrophobic spacing between the third Y-shaped channel 301 and the third colorimetric detection area 302 can effectively avoid the diffusion of the color developing reagent, so that the colorimetric detection result is more accurate.

The control area is used as a reference to correct the color change.

[0062] 2, Three-electrode system

Subsequently, the electrode is trimmed to the appropriate size (10 x 20 mm) to match the three-electrode system. Finally, a piece of transparent tape with a diameter of 8 mm is pasted on the electrode to define the working area of the electrode. Connect the three-electrode system to the electrochemical workstation through the data line to collect electrochemical data.

[0065] III. Detection method

[0066] 1. Application of the double-mode paper-based analysis device integrating multiple paper materials in simultaneously realizing electrochemical detection of Pb(II), Cu(II) and Hg(II) and colorimetric detection of Cr(Ⅵ) in a single sample.

[0067] The application detection method specifically includes the following steps:

[0068] The preparation method of the sample solution (herein, a standard solution) is as follows: 0.01mol / L hydrochloric acid solution is used as a solvent to prepare heavy metal mixed standard solutions with different concentrations, and the concentrations are respectively 0.01mg / L Pb(II), Cu(II), Hg(II) and 0.1mg / L Cr(Ⅵ) mixed solution, 0.025mg / L Pb(II), Cu(II), Hg(II) and 0.3mg / L Cr(Ⅵ) mixed solution, 0.05mg / L Pb(II), Cu(II), Hg(II) and 0.5mg / L Cr(Ⅵ) mixed solution, 0.1mg / L Pb(II), Cu(II), Hg(II) and 0.7mg / L Cr(Ⅵ) mixed solution, 0.3mg / L Pb(II), Cu(II), Hg(II) and 1.0mg / L Cr(Ⅵ) mixed solution, 0.5mg / L Pb(II), Cu(II), Hg(II) and 2.0mg / L Cr(Ⅵ) mixed solution, and 0.5mg / L Pb(II), Cu(II), Hg(II) and 3.0mg / L Cr(Ⅵ) mixed solution.

The related parameters of the DPSV experiment are as follows: the scanning potential range is -400 to 600 mV, the deposition potential is -500 mV, the duration is 360 seconds, the pulse height is 50 mV, the pulse width is 0.01 second, the pulse period is 0.1 second, and the potential increment is 10 mV. Unless otherwise specified, all electrochemical detections of the present application use this parameter.

[0070] After the electrochemical detection is completed, the image of the colorimetric detection area is taken by using a smart phone. In order to ensure the consistency of the light conditions, the chip is placed in a black box equipped with an LED light belt for shooting; the obtained image is analyzed in the ImageJ software in the inverted mode to extract the average color intensity of the green channel in the detection area for colorimetric quantitative analysis of Cr(Ⅵ).

After linear fitting, it is found that the concentration of 0.01-0.5 mg / L Pb(II), Cu(II) and Hg(II) is linearly related to the peak current. The standard curves of Pb(II), Cu(II) and Hg(II) are shown in Figure 6 B-6D, and according to the linear relationship equation, the detection limit of Pb(II), Cu(II) and Hg(II) can be calculated as 0.005, 0.002 and 0.002 mg / L, respectively. The colorimetric detection results of Cr(Ⅵ) are shown in Figure 7 With the gradual increase of the concentration of Cr(Ⅵ), the color intensity also gradually deepens Figure 7 A). The standard curve is shown in Figure 7 B, and the linear equation is Y=27.485X(mg / L)+0.893 when the concentration of Cr(Ⅵ) is in the range of 0.1-3 mg / L, and the correlation coefficient is 0.999. According to the linear relationship equation, the detection limit of Cr(Ⅵ) can be calculated as 0.029 mg / L.

[0072] ​2. Reproducibility of electrochemical detection of Pb(II), Cu(II), and Hg(II)

A new working electrode and 3D paper chip were used for each detection. The results of six electrochemical detections are as follows: Figure 8 As shown, the relative standard deviations of 0.1 mg / L Pb(II), Cu(II), and Hg(II) were 2.34%, 1.88%, and 2.43%, respectively, which proves that the method of the present invention has good reproducibility.

[0074] 3. Paper chip comparison experiment

[0075] A 1 mm hydrophobic gap was intentionally placed between the third Y-type channel 301 and the third colorimetric detection area 302. This gap prevents the diffusion of the chromogenic reagent, thereby improving the accuracy of the detection. To demonstrate its effectiveness, a comparative experiment was conducted, performing colorimetric detection of a 2 mg / L Cr(VI) standard solution on both a single-layer paper-based chip and the 3D paper chip of this invention. Except for replacing the 3D paper chip with a single-layer paper chip, all other samples and methods were identical. The experimental results are as follows: Figure 9 As shown, when using a single-layer paper chip for colorimetric detection, the colorimetric reagent diffuses into the channel during the detection process because the colorimetric detection area is directly connected to the channel, introducing systematic errors into the quantitative analysis. The 3D paper chip of this invention effectively solves this problem by introducing a gap between the colorimetric detection area and the channel. This design allows the colorimetric reagent to be precisely preloaded in the colorimetric detection area, effectively controlling its diffusion and thus improving the accuracy of colorimetric detection. The relative standard deviation of Cr(VI) in six colorimetric detections was 1.79%, demonstrating that the detection effect of the 3D paper chip of this invention is significantly better than that of the one-dimensional paper chip.

[0076] 4. Actual sample testing

[0077] The preparation method of the actual sample solution is as follows: cut the leather toy and the plastic toy into test samples with a size of less than 6 mm respectively, then transfer 1 test sample of each into a 250 mL sealed light-proof container. Add 50 mL of 0.07 mol / L hydrochloric acid at 37°C, shake for 1 minute, and check the acidity of the mixture. If the pH value is greater than 1.5, add about 2 mol / L hydrochloric acid solution drop by drop while shaking the mixture until the pH value reaches 1.0-1.5. Then continuously oscillate at 37°C for 1 hour, and then stand at 37°C for 1 hour. Finally, filter the mixed solution using a 0.45 μm membrane, and the obtained filtrate is used for subsequent detection. Before detection, adjust the pH value of the filtrate to 2.0 with 2 mol / L sodium hydroxide. All samples must be analyzed within 24 hours after preparation. Except for the sample solution, the other method steps are consistent with the method of the standard solution.

In order to further evaluate the accuracy, 0.05 mg / L Pb(II), Cu(II), Hg(II) and 0.5 mg / L Cr(VI) were added to the sample solution for standard addition recovery experiment, and the recovery rate was between 93% and 110%.
