Abstract
In some examples, a system for detecting inhibition of a biological assay includes a detection device configured to amplify and detect a target nucleic acid. The detection device is configured to receive a sample comprising a matrix and a quantity of the target nucleic acid and to amplify the target nucleic acid within the sample over a nucleic acid amplification cycle. The detection device is configured to capture a data set including measurements of the nucleic acid collected during the amplification cycle. The system further includes a computing device configured to receive the data set and to apply a machine-learning system to the data set to detect inhibited biological assays that tested negative for the target nucleic acid due to matrix inhibition.
