Summary
We developed a machine learning-powered biosensor for disease diagnostics. This dual-mode sensor accurately detects cardiac troponin I (cTnI) at low levels, enabling advanced point-of-care testing.
Area of Science:
- Materials Science and Engineering
- Biomedical Engineering
- Analytical Chemistry
Background:
- Photoelectrochemical (PEC)-coupled dual-mode biosensors are crucial for point-of-care diagnostics.
- Machine learning (ML) integration enhances disease marker detection accuracy.
- Advanced materials are needed to improve biosensor performance.
Purpose of the Study:
- To develop a machine learning-powered, dual-channel immunoassay biosensor.
- To integrate plasmonic TiO2@NH2-MIL-125/Au S-scheme photoelectrodes with CdSe@ZIF-8 fluorescent probes.
- To achieve sensitive and accurate detection of cardiac troponin I (cTnI) for point-of-care applications.
Main Methods:
- Fabrication of a plasmonic S-scheme photoelectrode (TiO2@NH2-MIL-125/Au) and nanoconfined fluorescent probes (CdSe@ZIF-8).
- Construction of a smartphone-compatible PEC-coupled dual-mode biosensor.
- Utilizing a random forest algorithm and convolutional neural network for signal processing and cTnI quantification.
Main Results:
- The optimized photoelectrode showed a 581% enhancement in photocurrent density.
- The biosensor achieved an ultralow limit of detection for cTnI (6.01 fg/mL).
- The ML regression model demonstrated high accuracy (R2 = 0.9966) and low prediction error (5%) for cTnI quantification.
Conclusions:
- An intelligent, field-deployable dual-mode biosensing platform was established.
- The integration of advanced materials and ML analytics enables transformative point-of-care diagnostics.
- This approach offers a robust solution for sensitive and accurate disease marker detection.
