abstract = {In general, chromatographic and sensor analyses have been utilized for explosive detection. The main interest on those systems is to develop a method to selectively detect explosives at a single step as well as from vapor phase if possible. Moreover, on-site and real-time detection with portable systems is another challenge for the researchers. On the other hand, the detection of 2,4,6-trinitrotoluene (TNT) vapor at the crime scene, preferably before the explosion is highly demanded in order to prevent the negative effects of terrorism and to ensure the safety of the civilian population. In this study, initially, Quartz Crystal Microbalance (QCM) sensor was prepared for real-time monitoring of TNT in aqueous solution, through the attachment of TNT peptide aptamer on the gold surface of QCM sensor. Secondly, after providing optimum conditions, TNT detection was investigated even from vapor phase through the QCM aptasensor. According to results, the selectivity coefficient of QCM-based aptasensor was calculated as 6.78 for TNT in respect to DNT whereas that was calculated as 9.02 for TNT in respect to TNB. In addition, the evaluation of the reusability and storage stability emphasized that the sensor could be used repeatedly without significant reduction in dissipation (∆D) values. The linearity coefficient (R2) was found to be 0.9965. The limit of detection (LOD) and the limit of quantitation (LOQ) were determined as 0.0238 and 0.0739 nM, respectively. The studies demonstrated that the portable QCM sensor decorated with the aptamer selective for TNT molecules could be classified as a promising alternative, selective, cost-friendly, easy-to-prepare, ready-to-use, and applicable for on-site and real-time explosive measurements (even from vapor phase).},
