“…First, 100 µg DEHP modified with carboxyl group (Figure 8) was fixed to the NH 2 chip through NH 2 and COOH interaction and then blocked with 1 M ethanolamine (pH 8.5). After the baseline was adjusted with phosphate buffer solution (PBS, 29.2 g NaCl, 0.69 g NaH 2 PO 4 , 0.71 g Na 2 HPO 4 , 0.1 g MgCl 2 ·6H 2 O; 500 mL, pH 7.0), aptamers (31,123,203,281) diluted to different concentrations (2.5, 5, 10, and 20 or 5, 10, 20, and 40 nM) were allowed to bind with DEHP for 240s. The flowrate was 20 µL/min, and the chip was regenerated with 5-10 mM NaOH.…”
