HIGHLIGHTS • An ultrasensitive multiplex biosensor was designed to quantify magnetic nanoparticles on immunochromatography test strips. • A machine learning model was constructed and used to classify both weakly positive and negative samples, significantly enhancing specificity and sensitivity. • A waveform reconstruction method was developed to appropriately restore the distorted waveform for weak magnetic signals.

ABSTRACT  The use of magnetic nanoparticle (MNP)-labeled immu-

nochromatography test strips (ICTSs) is very important for point-ofcare testing (POCT). However, common diagnostic methods cannot accurately analyze the weak magnetic signal from ICTSs, limiting the applications of POCT. In this study, an ultrasensitive multiplex biosensor was designed to overcome the limitations of capturing and normalization of the weak magnetic signal from MNPs on ICTSs. A machine learning model for sandwich assays was constructed and used to classify weakly positive and negative samples, which significantly enhanced the specificity and sensitivity. The potential clinical application was evaluated by detecting 50 human chorionic gonadotropin (HCG) samples and 59 myocardial infarction serum samples. The quantitative range for HCG was

1–1000 mIU mL−1 and the ideal detection limit was 0.014 mIU mL−1, which was well below the clinical threshold. Quantitative detection Vol.:(0123456789)
