Nanopore biosensor for detecting analytes in bodily fluids. a Schematic illustration of the nanopore technique. The binding of analyte (glucose in this case) caused conformational change. The passing of proteins through the nanopore led to a change in current. b The glucose quantification with nanopore was similar to the commercial glucose meter in general. The asparagine measurement was less similar to the benchmarking technique HPLC but demonstrated a higher sensitivity in saliva sample. Pictures retrieved from Galenkamp et al. 2018.
