Popis: A new colorimetric optode has been developed for preconcentration and visual determination of mercury ions in fish products. This optode is based on the color reaction of copper diethyldithiocarbamate with Hg2+ in the body of polymethylmethacrylate matrix. The optode exhibited sensitivity through the change of color from brown to colorless, which could be easily detected by naked-eye or spectrophotometric method. The influence of acidity, contact time and interference of foreign metal ions has been studied. The optode revealed good linearity in the range of 20-360 μg·L-1, with a limit of detection of 8 μg·L-1 Hg2+ at pH 5.2 and response time of 10 min.
