Graphene oxide assisted light-up aptamer selection against Thioflavin T for label-free detection of microRNA

Abstract We selected an aptamer against a fluorogenic dye called Thioflavin T (ThT). Aptamers are single-stranded DNA that can bind a specific target. We selected the ThT aptamer using graphene oxide assisted SELEX and a low-cost Open qPCR instrument. We optimized, minimized, and characterized the b...
