The graphenenanosensor has been tested and demonstrated high performance while monitoring insulin concentrations between 1 nM and 500 nM. “Real-time monitoring of insulin using a graphene field-effect transistor aptameric nanosensor” ACS Appl Mater Interfaces. “Real-time monitoring of insulin using a graphene aptameric nanosensor” 2017 IEEE 30th International Conference on Micro Electro Mechanical Systems (MEMS).
The Technology: Adaptable nanosensor for time-resolved detection and monitoring of biomolecular analyte. This technology is an aptamer-based graphenenanosensor that enables real-time detection and characterization of biomolecular interactions. Upon selective analyte enrichment and aptamer binding, the conductance of the graphenenanosensor changes and delivers an accurate and real-time electrical readout of the analyte activity.
This technology achieves membrane-free, continuous glucosemonitoring by detecting miniscule changes in the conductance of graphene functionalized with a glucose sensitive polymer. Sensor for internal, continuous glucosemonitoring. Current internal sensors used for continuous glucosemonitoring in diabetic patients rely on physical barriers to isolate the glucose, making them less responsive and adaptive.
