Protocol for constructing GQD-PMO functionalized FET-biosensor for ultrasensitive exosomal miRNA detection

Here, we present a protocol for constructing an ultrasensitive biosensor for exosomal-miRNA detection. We describe steps for preparing graphene quantum dot-phosphorodiamidate morpholino oligomer hybrids, depositing them onto the reduced graphene oxide field surface, hybridizing analyte miRNA with the sensor probe, and capturing and calculating electrical signals. We also detail procedures for optimizing biosensor construction and evaluating performance. By quantifying plasma exosomal miRNA21, this protocol can identify cancer patients from healthy individuals.
