The invention discloses a method for the quantitative detection of mercury ions through gold label silver stain and a kit thereof. The method is characterized by comprising the following steps of: heating, washing and drying a glass slide, immersing the glass slide in an APTES (3-Aminopropyltriethoxysilane) solution, performing silanization treatment on the glass slide at room temperature, then cleaning the glass slide with ethanol, and drying in vacuum at 110-130 DEG C for 1-3h to obtain the silanization glass slide; mixing DNA and a nanogold solution, vibrating to reach a uniform state, incubating at room temperature, and adding water for dilution to obtain a specific DNA-nanogold probe solution; mixing the specific DNA-nanogold probe solution with a sample solution, dripping the mixture on the silanization glass slide, drying a sample point at room temperature completely, dripping a silver staining reagent, standing in a black box, then, immediately rinsing the glass slide with distilled water and drying; and finally, performing quantitative analysis on gold label silver stain signals, and calculating to obtain the accurate concentration of the mercury ions in the sample solution to be detected. The method has the advantages of high sensitivity, high selectivity, availability for quantitative analysis of mercury ion concentration, simplicity for operation and availability for field detection.
