Abstract

This work depicts an electrochemical hydrogel-eutectic gallium indium alloy interface for the detection of tick-borne encephalitis (TBE) virus. This interface allows recording of nonlinear current-voltage responses, depending on the composition of the hydrogel. The current-voltage data for the machine learning model are trained by a multilayer perceptron. This model accurately recognizes the TBE antibody, antigen, and an antibody-antigen complex in mixture with interfering bovine serum albumin with 93% accuracy. Thus, this interface can be used as a convenient method for expressed viruses and pathogens detection.
