The well-characterized f-RG on an interdigitated electrode biochip in a FET configuration showed enhanced electronic properties, as demonstrated with I-V characteristics. The developed device was biofunctionalized with specific anti-cTnI antibodies exhibiting a shift of threshold voltage from -2.15 V to -0.5 V and decrease in electron mobility from 3.609 {$\times$} 10(4) to 8.877 {$\times$} 10(3) cm(2) V(-1) s(-1). The new sensing strategy holds great promise for its applicability in diagnostics exhibiting high sensitivity ({$\sim$} 1 pg/mL) and specificity toward cardiac marker (cTnI).} }
