Abstract
The photoluminescence of single-walled carbon nanotubes (SWCNTs) offers unique advantages for the development of biological sensors, including the potential to sensitize emission to many classes of analytes. Methods to selectively transduce the local concentration of an analyte via an optical signal often involves the attachment of existing molecular recognition elements to the nanotube surface, or the development of selectivities by high-throughput screening or selection techniques. Due to the existence of several mechanisms of optical modulation of SWCNTs, as well as multiple carbon nanotube species with differing bandgaps, and the increasing number of excipients and polymers that can be used for colloidal suspension and non-covalent functionalization, new methods in data analytics, sometimes dubbed ‘molecular perceptron’, can be used to facilitate selective recognition of bioanalytes to detect and process multi-parametric spectroscopic fingerprints. These methods will be discussed for the detection of single and multiplexed analytes.
