Abstract
The development of a universal sensing mechanism for the rapid and quantitative detection of small molecules directly in whole blood would drastically impact global health by enabling disease diagnostics, monitoring, and treatment at home. We have previously shown that hybridization between a free DNA strand and its complementary surface-bound strand can be sterically hindered when the former is bound to large antibodies. Here, we exploit this effect to design a competitive antibody-based electrochemical assay, called CeSHHA, that enables the quantitative detection of small molecules directly in complex matrices, such as whole blood or soil. We discuss the importance of this inexpensive assay for point-of-care diagnosis and for treatment monitoring applications.

Full frame distilled prediction
Teacher imitationNot calibrated prevalence, not ground truth. Human validation pending. Learned from the 10,348 direct Codex labels and 10,348 direct Gemma labels. Candidate is the union of thresholded teacher heads; consensus is their intersection. These outputs are machine_predicted_unvalidated and are not human labels or direct frontier model labels.

Machine scores (provisional)
The two teacher heads of the student model, read on this work. A score orders the frame for review; it never asserts a category, and the validation status ships verbatim with every row.
Baseline scores from an immature model (maturity gate not passed, 7 training rounds). Scores rank; they never assert a category.
score_only:v0-immature-baseline · verbatim from the scoring run: score_only means the number may rank works, and no category label ships from it
