Systematic evolution of ligands by exponential enrichment (SELEX) is the workhorse method for selecting aptamers that are capable of binding target molecules from a random oligonucleic acid library. However, conventional SELEX methods are associated with apparent drawbacks including labor-intensive, time-consuming, large reagent consumption and strong nonspecific binding with separation media. Herein, we report a boronate affinity monolithic capillary-based SELEX approach for rapid selection of high-specificity glycoprotein-binding DNA aptamers. Boronate affinity monolithic capillary is an advanced functional material appeared in recent years, which allows for facile capture/release of glycoproteins in a pH- switchable fashion. By using boronate affinity monolithic capillary as a platform for target immobilization and aptamer isolation, the proposed SELEX method allowed for efficient selection of glycoprotein-binding aptamers by 6 rounds and the dissociation constants were at 10(-8) M level. Because of the employment of boronate affinity monolithic capillary, the new SELEX approach overcame the above-mentioned drawbacks and provided several significant advantages, including rapid selection speed (only 2 days were needed), high specificity toward the target molecules, and minute reagent consumption.
