Table 2.

Sequences of the single stranded DNA oligonucleotides used for synthesizing the silver nanoclusters (Ag-NC). The absorption wavelengths along with absorbance of the silver nanoclusters are provided in the third column. The left and right conserved primer sequences are underlined. The color designations are used to distinguish the sequences and are consistent in Figure 1, Figure 2 and Figure 4.
