Abstract: A microdevice for monitoring a target analyte is provided. The microdevice can include a field effect transistor comprising a substrate, a gate electrode, and a microfluidic channel including graphene. The microfluidic channel can be formed between drain electrodes and source electrodes on the substrate. The microdevice can also include at least one aptamer functionalized on a surface of the graphene. The at least one aptamer can be adapted for binding to the target analyte. Binding of the target analyte to the at least one aptamer can alter the conductance of the graphene.

Abstract: A receptor capable of binding to the target analyte can be used in monitoring a target analyte in a bodily fluid or a sample. A microdevice in accordance with the disclosed subject matter can include a substrate and a conductance elements with receptors grafted on the surface of the conductance element. A microdevice in accordance with the disclosed subject matter can also include a substrate, a first and second conductance elements, and synthetic polymers grafted on the surface of the first and second conductance elements. The first conductance element can be grafted with a sensing polymer that binds the target analyte, and the second conductance element can be grafted with a reference polymer that is insensitive to the target analyte. Differential measurement of the graphene conductance can allow determination of target analyte concentration in a bodily fluid.
