The addition of machine learning (ML) technologies has completely changed the field of biochemical sensing, providing enhanced accuracy and reliability. In the present work, an ML-assisted screen-printed, flexible, electrochemical, non-enzymatic biosensor was proposed to quantify urea concentrations. For the detection of urea, the biosensor was modified with a multi-walled carbon nanotube-zinc oxide (MWCNT-ZnO) nanocomposite functionalized with copper oxide (CuO) micro-flowers (MFs). Further, the CuO-MFs were synthesized using a standard sol-gel approach, and the obtained particles were subjected to various characterization techniques, including X-ray diffraction (XRD), field emission scanning electron microscopy (FESEM), and Fourier transform infrared (FTIR) spectroscopy. The sensor's performance for urea detection was evaluated by assessing the dependence of peak currents on analyte concentration using cyclic voltammetry (CV) at different scan rates of 50, 75, and 100 mV/s. The designed non-enzymatic biosensor showed an acceptable linear range of operation of 0.5-8 mM, and the limit of detection (LoD) observed was 78.479 nM, which is well aligned with the urea concentration found in human blood and exhibits a good sensitivity of 117.98 mA mM^-1 cm^-2. Additionally, different regression-based ML models were applied to determine CV parameters to predict urea concentrations experimentally. ML significantly improves the accuracy and reliability of screen-printed biosensors, enabling accurate predictions of urea levels. Finally, the combination of ML and biosensor design emphasizes not only the high sensitivity and accuracy of the sensor but also its potential for complex non-enzymatic urea detection applications. Future advancements in accurate biochemical sensing technologies are made possible by this strong and dependable methodology.</p>","PeriodicalId":48608,"journal":{"name":"Biosensors-Basel","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":4.9,"publicationDate":"2024-10-15","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC11505716/pdf/","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"142510861","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":3,"RegionCategory":"工程技术","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"OA","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

This study presents the development of an ultrasensitive electrochemical biosensor using surface-modified bacterial cellulose (BC) integrated with polypyrrole (Ppy) and reduced graphene oxide (RGO), further functionalized with immobilized <i>S. typhimurium</i>-specific phage particles. The BC substrate, with its ultra-fibrous and porous structure, was modified through in situ oxidative polymerization of Ppy and RGO, resulting in a highly conductive and flexible biointerface. The immobilization of phages onto this composite was facilitated by electrostatic interactions between the polycationic Ppy and the negatively charged phage capsid heads, optimizing phage orientation and enhancing bacterial capture efficiency. Morphological and chemical characterization confirmed the successful fabrication and phage immobilization. The biosensor demonstrated a detection limit of 1 CFU/mL for <i>S. typhimurium</i> in phosphate-buffered saline (PBS), with a linear detection range spanning 10⁰ to 10⁷ CFU/mL. In real samples, the sensor achieved detection limits of 5 CFU/mL in milk and 3 CFU/mL in chicken, with a linear detection range spanning 10⁰ to 10⁶ CFU/mL, maintaining high accuracy and reproducibility. The biosensor also effectively discriminated between live and dead bacterial cells, demonstrating its potential in real-world food safety applications. The biosensor performed excellently over a wide pH range (4-10) and remained stable for up to six weeks.

This paper discusses the principles, challenges, and limitations of synthetic microwave-focusing techniques in medical applications. It is shown that the various focusing techniques, including time reversal, confocal imaging, and delay-and-sum, are all based on the scalar solution of the electromagnetic scattering problem, assuming the imaged object, i.e., the tissue or object, is linear, reciprocal, and time-invariant. They all aim to generate a qualitative image, revealing any strong scatterer within the imaged domain. The differences among these techniques lie only in the assumptions made to derive the solution and create an image of the relevant tissue or object. To get a fast solution using limited computational resources, those methods assume the tissue is homogeneous and non-dispersive, and thus, a simplified far-field Green's function is used. Some focusing methods compensate for dispersive effects and attenuation in lossy tissues. Other approaches replace the simplified Green's function with more representative functions. While these focusing techniques offer benefits like speed and low computational requirements, they face significant ongoing challenges in real-life applications due to their oversimplified linear solutions to the complex problem of non-linear medical microwave imaging.
