Abstract
Organic electronics (OE) technology has matured in displays and is advancing in solid-state lighting applications. Other promising and growing uses of this technology are in (bio)chemical sensing, imaging, in vitro cell monitoring, and other biomedical diagnostics that can benefit from low-cost, efficient small devices, including wearable designs that can be fabricated on glass or flexible plastic. OE devices such as organic LEDs, organic and hybrid perovskite-based photodetectors, and organic thin-film transistors, notably organic electrochemical transistors, are utilized in such sensing and (bio)medical applications. The integration of compact and sensitive OE devices with microfluidic channels and lab-on-a-chip (LOC) structures is very promising. This survey focuses on studies that utilize this integration for a variety of OE tools. It is not intended to encompass all studies in the area, but to present examples of the advances and the potential of such OE technology, with a focus on microfluidics/LOC integration for efficient wide-ranging sensing and biomedical applications.

Abstract
Organic field-effect transistors (OFETs) have been proposed beyond three decades while becoming a research hotspot again in recent years because of the fast development of flexible electronics. Many novel flexible OFETs-based devices have been reported in these years. Among these devices, flexible OFETs-based sensors made great strides because of the extraordinary sensing capability of FET. Most of these flexible OFETs-based sensors were designed for biological applications due to the advantages of flexibility, reduced complexity, and lightweight. This paper reviews the materials, fabrications, and applications of flexible OFETs-based biosensors. Besides, the challenges and opportunities of the flexible OFETs-based biosensors are also discussed.

Abstract
As the most important small molecules revealing the origins of life, amino acids (AAs) play essential roles in living organisms and their facile enantiodiscrimination has long been a great challenge for analytical chemists. Inspired by the specific stereomatching effect between biomolecules and AA enantiomers, herein, we first developed a bio-inspired highly sensitive platform based on an extended-gate metal-oxide-semiconductor field-effect-transistor (EG-MOSFET) for highly sensitive AA enantiodiscrimination. Bovine serum albumin (BSA) was self-assembled on deposited Au surfaces to afford the extended gate (EG) sensing unit, and its enantiorecognition ability was initially verified using common electrochemical techniques. The EG was thereafter installed to a MOSFET to build the desired BSA-EG-MOSFET highly sensitive chiral sensing platform, which realized the efficient enantiodiscrimination of essential AAs with high sensitivity, where effective chiral resolution was achieved at the femtomole level to phenylalanine (Phe). Combining molecular docking and circular dichroism spectroscopy, the weak intermolecular interactions between BSA and AAs enantiomers were investigated and the mechanism for signal amplification was proposed. Our results demonstrate that the as-fabricated biosensor has great potential in highly sensitive chiral sensing fields and can also afford a potential tool for biomolecular interaction investigations.

Abstract
This paper reports a mass transfer model of a reactant flowing in a large aspect ratio microfluidic chip made of a channel with electrodes on the side walls. A semianalytical solution to the two-dimensional Fickian diffusion of a reactant in a microchannel, including the electrochemical reaction at the electrode interface and the velocity profile obtained from the Navier-Stokes equations in a fully developed laminar regime, is found. The solution is written in the Laplace domain in terms of transfer functions. The proposed solution is an extension of the Lévêque approximation describing the reactant diffusion from the electrode to the middle of the microfluidic channel. The main applications of this work are the use of the obtained transfer functions for the measurement of the Faradic current density or the chemical concentration at the electrode interface. The study can also be extended to the heat transfer in microfluidic electrochemical chips (temperature or heat flux measurements at the electrode interface).

Abstract
This paper reports the development of a real-time monitoring system utilizing the combination of a water-gated organic field-effect transistor (WG-OFET) and a microfluidic chamber for the detection of the herbicide glyphosate (GlyP). For the realization of the real-time sensing with the WG-OFET, the surface of a polymer semiconductor was utilized as a sensing unit. The aqueous solution including the target analyte, which is employed as a gate dielectric of the WG-OFET, flows into a designed microfluidic chamber on the semiconductor layer and the gate electrode. As the sensing mechanism, the WG-OFET-based sensor utilizes the competitive complexation among carboxylate-functionalized polythiophene, a copper(II) (Cu2+) ion, and GlyP. The reversible accumulation and desorption of the positively charged Cu2+ ion on the semiconductor surface induced a change in the electrical double-layer capacitance (EDLC). The optimization of the microfluidic chamber enables a uniform water flow and contributes to real-time quantitative sensing of GlyP at a micromolar level. Thus, this study would lead to practical real-time sensing in water for various fields including environmental assessment.

Abstract
Chirality is an essential natural attribute of organisms. Chiral molecules exhibit differences in biochemical processes, pharmacodynamics, and toxicological properties, and their enantioselective recognition plays an important role in explaining life science processes and guiding drug design. Herein, we developed an ultra-sensitive enantiomer recognition platform based on an extended-gate metal-oxide semiconductor field-effect-transistor (Nafion–GO@BSA–EG-MOSFET) that achieved effective chiral resolution of ultra-sensitive Lysine (Lys) and α-Methylbenzylamine (α-Met) enantiodiscrimination at the femtomole level. Bovine serum albumin (BSA) was immobilized on the surface of graphene oxide (GO) through amide bond coupling to prepare the GO@BSA complex. GO@BSA was drop-cast on deposited Au surfaces with a Nafion solution to afford the extended-gate sensing unit. Effective recognition of chiral enantiomers of mandelic acid (MA), tartaric acid (TA), tryptophan (Trp), Lys and α-Met was realized. Moreover, the introduction of GO reduced non-specific adsorption, and the chiral resolution concentration of α-Met reached the level of picomole in a 5-fold diluted fetal bovine serum (FBS). Finally, the chiral recognition mechanism of the as-fabricated sensor was proposed.
