Harnessing Small-Molecule Analyte Detection in Complex Media: Combining Molecularly Imprinted Polymers, Electrolytic Transistors, and Machine Learning

“…Detecting small-molecule analytes is pivotal in various fields of science and technology, including quality control of food and beverages, environmental monitoring, and clinical diagnostics. − These analytes are low-molecular-weight compounds (typically <1 kDa), displaying a wide range of chemical structures, which serve as food additives, drugs and pharmaceutical products, pesticides, pollutants, toxins, metabolites, etc. , Small molecules are also important biomarkers of various diseases and can be found in physiological fluids such as urine, blood, and saliva. Their precise detection and quantification are essential for biomedical research and personalized medicine, especially for the early detection of diseases. , …”
