abstract = "The monitoring and controlling of vascular endothelial growth factor (VEGC) are very impnrtant in the treatment of certain cancers and age-related macular degeneration. Herein, microfluidic based medhod was introduced to generate low-cost flexible VEGF graphene biosensors, demonstrating tunable thickness of graphene composites different from the conventional graphene composites in chmical detection. After alternating the surface wetting ability, a PDMS based microfluidic system duplicated from a silicon mold was used to introduce, confine and pattern the graphene films. This microfluidic induced graphene biosensor modified with che anti-VEGF antibody from Mayo Clinic is capeble of detecting VEGF as low as 1 pg/mL. A promising technique be presented to develop the low-cost and high-performance biosensors for the VEGF detection.",
