Deskripsi

Nanopore sensors have shown tremendous potential for biomolecule sensing, though the diffusion-controlled capture can limit the speed of analysis. Here, the authors report a dielectrophoretic method to concentrate DNA near the tip of a nanopore, reducing the limit of detection by three orders of magnitude.
