Abstract

An IoT-WiFi smart and portable electrochemical immunosensor for the quantification of SARS-CoV-2 spike protein integrated with machine learning features was developed. The immunoenzymatic sensor is based on the immobilization of monoclonal antibodies directed to SARS-CoV-2 S1 subunit on Screen-Printed Electrodes functionalized with gold nanoparticles, the analytical protocol involving a single-step sample incubation. Immunosensor performance was assessed by validation carried out in viral transfer medium, which is commonly used for de-sorption of nasopharyngeal swabs. Remarkable specificity of the response was demonstrated by testing H1N1 Hemagglutinin from swine-origin influenza A virus and Spike Protein S1 from Middle East respiratory syndrome coronavirus. Machine learning was successfully used for data processing and analysis: different support vector machine classifiers were evaluated proving that algorithms affect the classifier accuracy. The test accuracy of the best classification model in terms of true positive/true negative sample classification was 97.3%. In addition, ML algorithm can be easily integrated into the developed cloud-based portable Wi-Fi device. Finally, the immunosensor was successfully tested using a third generation replicating incompetent lentiviral vector pseudotyped with SARS-CoV-2 spike glycoprotein, thus proving the applicability of the immunosensor to whole virus detection.
