“…Until now, probe functionalized aptamers have been selected for targeting various analytes such as cancer cells (Zhang et al ., ), tumor markers (Cha et al ., ) and metal ions (Zhang et al ., ). Although the aptamer, as an effective recognition element, has been investigated extensively in the construction of various biosensors for electrochemical (Miodek et al ., ), photoelectrochemical (Zhao et al ., ), electrochemiluminescent (Li et al ., ), fluorescent (Müller and König, ) and colorimetric analysis (Geng et al ., ), the CE‐based aptamer assay is still in its infancy. On the other hand, the small detection volume in CE often results in poor concentration detection sensitivity; achieving high sensitivity has long been a major goal in CE, especially in the monitoring of rare analytes in biological samples.…”
