The GPC3 aptamer (GPC3<sub>Apt</sub>) and PtPd@H-rGO NCs were modified on the surface of silicon-based LAPS chip to build sensitive unit of LAPS system.

Therefore GPC3 concentration can be determined by monitoring the potential shifts (△V). Under optimal conditions, the potential shift is linearly related to the concentration of GPC3 in the range of 0.001–3.00 μg/mL with the limit of detection (LOD) of 0.0001 μg/mL.
