(A) Principle of nanopore sensing. A nanoscale
size pore separates
two reservoirs filled with electrolyte solutions. Electrodes are placed
in each reservoir and a constant voltage bias is applied across the
nanopore causing a charged molecule (e.g., DNA molecule) to translocate
through the nanopore. Reproduced from Kowalczyk, S. W.; Wells, D.
