Abstract
Off-stoichiometry thiol-ene polymer (OSTE) is an emerging thermoset with interesting properties for the development of lab-on-a-chip (LOAC), such as easy microfabrication process, suitable surface chemistry for modification and UV-transparency. One of the challenges for LOAC development is the integration of all the analytical steps in one microchannel, and particularly, trace level analytes extraction/preconcentration steps. In this study, two strategies for the immobilization of efficient tools for this purpose, thiol-modified (C3-SH) aptamers, on OSTE polymer surfaces were developed and compared. The first approach relies on a direct UV-initiated click chemistry reaction to graft thiol-terminated aptamers on ene-terminated OSTE surfaces. The second strategy consists of the immobilization of thiol-terminated aptamers onto OSTE substrates covered by gold nanoparticles. The presence of an intermediate gold nanoparticle layer on OSTE has shown great interest in the efficient immobilization of aptamers, preserving their interaction with the target, and preventing non-specific adsorption. With this second innovative strategy, we proved, for the first time the concept of creating multiple functional zones for sample treatment in an open OSTE-microchannel thanks to the immobilization of aptamers in consecutive areas by the simple droplet deposition methodology. This methodological development allows further consideration of OSTE material for lab-on-a-chip designs, integrating multiple zones for sample pretreatment, based on molecular recognition by ligands, such as aptamers, in a specific zone of the microchannel and is adaptable to a large range of analytical applications for LOAC industrialization.

Abstract
Over the last two decades, the group of techniques called affinity probe CE has been widely used for the detection and the determination of several types of biomolecules with high sensitivity. These techniques combine the low sample consumption and high separation power of CE with the selectivity of the probe to the target molecule. The assays can be defined according to the type of probe used: CE immunoassays, with an antibody as the probe, or aptamer-based CE, with an aptamer as the probe. Immunoassays are generally divided into homogeneous and heterogeneous groups, and homogeneous variant can be further performed in competitive or noncompetitive formats. Interacting partners are free in solution at homogeneous assay, as opposed to heterogeneous analyses, where one of them is immobilized onto a solid support. Highly sensitive fluorescence, chemiluminescence or electrochemical detections were typically used in this type of study. The use of the aptamers as probes has several advantages over antibodies such as shorter generation time, higher thermal stability, lower price, and lower variability. The aptamer-based CE technique was in practice utilized for the determination of proteins in biological fluids and environmentally or clinically important small molecules. Both techniques were also transferred to microchip. This review is focused on theoretical principles of these techniques and a summary of their applications in research.

Abstract
Since the systematic evolution of ligands by exponential enrichment (SELEX) method was developed, aptamers have made significant contributions as bio-recognition sensors. Microdevice systems allow for low reagent consumption, high-throughput of samples, and disposability. Due to these advantages, there has been an increasing demand to develop microfluidic-based aptasensors for analytical technique applications. This review introduces the principal concepts of aptasensors and then presents some advanced applications of microdevice-based aptasensors on several platforms. Highly sensitive detection techniques, such as electrochemical and optical detection, have been integrated into lab-on-a-chip devices and researchers have moved towards the goal of establishing point-of-care diagnoses for target analyses.

Abstract
With the view of designing new nanoparticle (NP)-aptamer conjugates and proving their suitability as biorecognition tools for miniaturized molecular diagnostics, new maghemite-silica core-shell NP-aptamer conjugates were characterized for the first time in terms of grafting rate and colloidal stability under electrophoretic conditions using capillary electrophoresis. After the grafting rate (on the order of six to 50) of the lysozyme-binding aptamer had been estimated, the electrophoretic stability and peak dispersion of the resulting oligonucleotide-NP conjugates were estimated so as to determine the optimal separation conditions in terms of buffer pH, ionic strength and nature, as well as temperature and electric field strength. The effective surface charge density of the NPs was close to zero for pH lower than 5, which led to some aggregation. The NPs were stable in the pH range from 5 to 9, and an increase in electrophoretic mobility was evidenced with increasing pH. Colloidal stability was preserved at physiological pH for both non-grafted NPs and grafted NPs in the 10-100 mM ionic strength range and in the 15-60 °C temperature range. A strong influence of the nature of the buffer counterion on NP electrophoretic mobility and peak dispersion was evidenced, thus indicating some interactions between buffer components and NP-aptamer conjugates. Whereas an electric field effect (50-900 V cm(-1)) on NP electrophoretic mobility was evidenced, probably linked to counterion dissociation, temperature seems to have an appreciable effect on the zeta potential and aptamer configuration as well. This information is crucial for estimating the potentialities of such biorecognition tools in electrophoretic systems.
