Abstract
The present invention provides a Hemoglobin A1c-specific aptamer and a Hemoglobin-specific aptamer. The aptamers were selected in vitro using SELEX and a microfluidic chip system. The aptamers established low free energy, thus were more stable than conventional antibodies. The high specificity of the aptamers to Hemoglobin A1c or Hemoglobin allows them to be effectively used in diagnosis of diabetes and/or anemia.
