In process analytics or environmental monitoring, thereal-timerecording of the composition of complex samples over a long periodof time presents a great challenge. Promising solutions are label-freetechniques such as surface plasmon resonance (SPR) spectroscopy. Theyare, however, often limited due to poor reversibility of analyte binding.In this work, we introduce how SPR imaging in combination with a semi-selectivefunctional surface and smart data analysis can identify small andchemically similar molecules. Our sensor uses individual functionalspots made from different ratios of graphene oxide and reduced grapheneoxide, which generate a unique signal pattern depending on the analytedue to different binding affinities. These patterns allow four purinebases to be distinguished after classification using a convolutionalneural network (CNN) at concentrations as low as 50 & mu;M. Thevalidation and test set classification accuracies were constant acrossmultiple measurements on multiple sensors using a standard CNN, whichpromises to serve as a future method for developing online sensorsin complex mixtures.
