  • NANOFLUIDIC SENSOR COMPRISING SPATIALLY SEPARATED FUNCTIONAL SENSING COMPONENTS
    Publication number: 20150104354
    Abstract: A method for making multiple single molecule receptors in a nanopore structure includes depositing a first material and a second material by a physical vapor deposition (PVD) technique onto different selected interior surfaces of a nanochannel and functionalizing a surface of the first material, the second material, or both the first and second materials with a chemical compound having at least two functional groups. The first and second materials can be the same or different and form patches having diameters of about 1 to about 100 nanometers (nm). Also disclosed are embodiments of a nanopore structure including multiple single molecule receptors.
    Type: Application

  • DIRECTED SURFACE FUNCTIONALIZATION ON SELECTED SURFACE AREAS OF TOPOGRAPHICAL FEATURES WITH NANOMETER RESOLUTION
    Publication number: 20150104586
    Abstract: A method for making a single molecule receptor in a nanopore structure includes depositing a material by a physical vapor deposition (PVD) technique onto a selected interior surface of a nanochannel and functionalizing a surface of the material with a chemical compound having at least two functional groups. The material forms a patch having a diameter of about 3 to about 10,000 nanometers (nm). Also disclosed are embodiments of a nanopore structure including a single molecule receptor.
