Description

Chendi Qin leads a 2026 study building a quick sensor for a key tuberculosis drug, isoniazid. Knowing a patient's drug level helps set the dose and cut side effects, yet lab testing is slow. Their sensor uses a nanozyme, a nanomaterial that acts like an enzyme, whose colour reaction fades as drug levels rise.

Two readouts were built: a bench instrument and a smartphone method that reads colour values from photos. The bench method measured levels from 1 to 30 micromolar units, the phone method from 3 to 30 in the same units. Spiked samples of tablets and rat serum recovered close to the true amounts. Among three learning models, a convolutional network read phone photos best and stayed accurate under room light. The authors pitch the platform for routine drug monitoring.
