  • USING A FIELD EFFECT DEVICE FOR IDENTIFYING TRANSLOCATING CHARGE-TAGGED MOLECULES IN A NANOPORE SEQUENCING DEVICE
    Publication number: 20150316530
    Abstract: A detector apparatus includes a field-effect transistor configured to undergo a change in amplitude of a source-to-drain current when at least a portion of a charge-tagged molecule translocates through the nanopore. In some implementations, the field-effect transistor is a carbon nanotube field effect transistor and the nanopore is located in a membrane. In other implementations, the field-effect transistor is a carbon nanotube field effect transistor and the nanopore is implemented in the form of a nano-channel in a semiconductor layer.
    Type: Application

  • TRANSLOCATION AND NUCLEOTIDE READING MECHANISMS FOR SEQUENCING NANODEVICES
    Publication number: 20150101933
    Abstract: By driving molecules electrophoretically through a nanopore, single molecule detection can be achieved. To enhance translocational control, functionalized and non-functionalized electrodes are strategically placed around or above a nanopore. Changes in transmission spectra and input voltage detected by electrodes allow accurate identification of single molecules as they pass through a nanopore.
