Figure S8. Transfer characteristics of In2O3 field-effect transistors without aptamer immobilization. For CDA ≥1 µM, non-specific binding of dopamine on the channel surface becomes significant and causes upward shift in the drain current even without aptamer functionalization. No significant change in drain current was observed for CDA
