Thrombin is a multifunctional serine protease that plays an important role in coagulation and anticoagulation processes. Aptamers have been widely applied in biosensors due to their high specificity, low cost and good biocompatibility. This review summarizes recent advances in thrombin quantification using aptamer-based biosensors. The primary focus is optical sensors and electrochemical sensors, along with their applications in thrombin analysis and disease diagnosis.
