Various examples are provided for disposable medical sensors that can be used for detection of SARS-CoV-2 antigen, cardiac troponin I, or other biosensing applications. In one example, a medical sensing system includes single-use disposable test strip comprising a functionalized sensing area configured to detect SARS-CoV-2 antigen and a portable sensing and readout device including pulse generation circuitry that can generate synchronized gate and drain pulses for detection and quantification of SARS-CoV-2 antigen in biological samples. In another example, a method includes providing a saliva sample to a functionalized sensing area configured to detect SARS-CoV-2 antigen, generating synchronized gate and drain pulses for a transistor, the gate pulse provided via electrodes of the functionalized sensing area, and sensing an output of the transistor that is a function of a concentration of SARS-CoV-2 antigen in the sample. |
