Abstract
Facile, efficient, and inexpensive biosensing systems are in high demand for biomedical test. In recent years, numerous smartphone-based biosensing systems have been developed to match demand for biomedical test in source-limited environment. However, application of these smartphone-based biosensing systems was limited because of performance gap between the smartphone-based systems and commercial plate readers. In this study, we have developed a smart tablet–phone-based colorimetric plate reader (STPCPR) with intelligent and dynamic light modulation for broad-range colorimetric assays. The STPCPR allows controllable modulation of exciting light in three different color channels that is lack in conventional smartphone-based system. Using optimized exciting modulation, the STPCPR shows higher sensitivities, lower detection limits, and broader detection ranges in test of pigments, proteins, and cells when compared to conventional plate readers and smartphone-based system. Therefore, the developed STPCPR can serve as an ideal next-generation smartphone-based biosensing system for point-of-care colorimetric test in diverse biomedical applications in source-limited environment.
