- Abstract
- Chemical tongues are emerging powerful bioanalytical tools that mimic the mechanism of the human taste system to recognize the comprehensive characteristics of complex biological samples. By using an array of chromogenic or fluorogenic probes that interact non-specifically with various components in the samples, this tool generates unique colorimetric or fluorescence patterns that reflect the biological composition of a sample. These patterns are then analyzed using multivariate analysis or machine learning to distinguish and classify the samples. This review focuses on our efforts to provide an overview of the fundamental principles of chemical tongues, probe design, and their applications as versatile tools for analyzing proteins, cells, and bacteria in biological samples. Compared to conventional methods that rely on specific targeting (e.g., antibodies or enzymes) or comprehensive omics analyses, chemical tongues offer advantages in terms of cost and the ability to analyze samples without the need for specific biomarkers. The complementary use of chemical tongues and conventional methods is expected to enable a more detailed understanding of biological samples and lead to the elucidation of new biological phenomena.
