Scheme 2.

Scheme 2.

Schematics (not to scale) of competitive displacement in microfluidic channels. (A) Here, dopamine (DA) was first functionalized uniformly across substrates. Microfluidic devices were then sealed on the substrates and a different concentration of dopamine in solution was co-incubated with a constant concentration of dopamine aptamer in each channel. (B) Free dopamine vs. surface-tethered dopamine competed for aptamer binding.
