“…11,12 As the detection probes, aptamers are characterized by the wide target range, low cost, high stability, and simple synthesis. 13 Aptasensors using aptamers as detection probes have been developed for the detection of analytes, and can be broadly classified into the colorimetric, 14 fluorescent, 15 surface-enhanced Raman scattering, 16 and electrochemical, 17 ones according to the specific detection method. Nanomaterials, such as gold nanoparticles (AuNPs), 18 graphene oxide, 19 and metal–organic frameworks, 20 have been frequently used to fabricate aptasensors, among which AuNPs are preferred due to their unique properties.…”
