Figure Lengend Snippet: Overlapping absorption spectra of ( red ) 50 μg/mL b-PM, ( black ) 50 μg/mL PM, ( blue ) 100 μg/mL HbA0 and ( green ) 100 μg/mL HbA1c. The monomeric extinction coefficients of b-PM, PM, HbA0 and HbA1c at 532 nm are calculated to be 49,451, 68,061, 7368 and 9066 cm −1 ∙M −1 , respectively.

Figure Lengend Snippet: (Left) Structural schemes, (left center) typical photocurrent responses, (right center) total photocurrent density and (right) calibration curves for ( a ) Hb immunosensor, ( b ) HbA0 aptasensor and ( c ) HbA1c aptasensor. The left center and right center panels also show the data for chips that are fabricated using different top layers during the layer-by-layer sensor fabrication. All of the data in the right center and right panels is presented as the average value for three chips of a single type with one standard deviation (RSD < 5%).

Figure Lengend Snippet: Normalized Raman spectra for ITO electrodes that are fabricated using ( a ) b-PM, ( b ) HbA0 aptamer, ( c ) HbA1c aptamer, ( d ) HbA0, and ( e ) HbA1c at the top. The HbA0 aptamer and HbA1c aptamer are coated on the ( a ) surface to yield surfaces ( b ) and ( c ). Surfaces ( b ) and ( c ) are then used to capture HbA0 and HbA1c on top to yield surfaces ( d ) and ( e ), respectively.

doi: 10.3390/s20247274

Figure Lengend Snippet: The effect of storage on the decrease in the photocurrent in ( a ) HbA0 and ( b ) HbA1c aptasensors for the detection of 1 μg/mL pure HbA0 and HbA1c, respectively. The aptasensors were stored in 10 mM PB containing 100 mM NaCl at pH 8.0 and 4 °C for 0–28 days. After storage, the aptasensors were either (black) directly used to detect their respective targets or (orange, blue, red) refolded and then used for target detection. The refolding process involved thermal denaturation of the stored aptasensors at 45 °C for (orange) 10 min, (blue) 20 min and (red) 30 min, followed by a 30-min cooling period. All the data is presented as the average value for three chips of a single type with one standard deviation (RSD < 5%).

Figure Lengend Snippet: Correlation ( a ) between the aptasensor HbA0 concentrations and the standard measured total Hb concentrations and ( b ) between the HbA1c levels that are measured using the aptasensors and the standard method. The red dotted lines show 90% confidence intervals. All aptasensor data is presented as the average value for three measurements with one standard deviation. The RSDs for the HbA0 and HbA1c concentrations that are determined using their respective aptasensors are, respectively, less than 5% and 6%.
