Sensor Array Concept

Sensor array is a new designing concept of biosensors. This involves designing several types of sensor elements, whose colorimetric or fluorescent signal can reflect a specific feature of the analyte. By simultaneously using these sensor elements together, multiple signals of the analyte can be obtained at once. These signals are subsequently analyzed using machine learning algorithms to identify unique signal patterns associated with each analyte, thereby enabling effective differentiation of the analytes. The data of each type of analyte can be used as training data to make an AI model for the identification of unknown samples. Compared to the traditional sensor, the sensor array method can be used to detect and identify many classes of the analyte rather than detecting a single type of analyte.

About This Database

To help us better learn and understand sensor array, we made this database (SADB: sensor array database). This database records the key information of sensor array-relevant articles, including title, published year, the sensor elements, the constructing material, operation principle and targets of sensor array. Users can input and select key words of the researches to quickly acquire the desiring information. Moreover, based on a research of our group, users can input the experimental data to predict the bacteria species of your target. In addition, if you have relevant research information which we do not, or you have experiment data of the new bacteria species which we do not, you can submit the data to us to improve the construction of our community.

This is the first release of SADB and it is in its infancy, and thus is incomplete. The database will be periodically updated to accommodate new literature entries that are continuously updated on the pubMed and other public repositories. Manual curation of data will be carried out to detect and remove multiple data entries when conflicting datasets are detected. When making use of the datasets contained in SADB, researchers are urged to verify the authenticity and validity of the datasets. Any queries or data issues concerning the SADB can be reported via the contact feature incorporated into the SADB. And the administrator will respond to their queries.

The research information are manually curated and summarized by our research group. The researches about sensor array comes from article soruces such as PubMed, Elsevier and Springer. The bacteria species prediction are based on our research, you can get the detailed information here.
