Abstract: Provided is a method of separating particles, the method comprising: forming a first chamber and a second chamber separated by an interface with a pore, wherein the first and second chambers have electrodes with different polarities; placing particles to which a target biomolecule is bound from particles to which the target biomolecule is not bound in the first chamber; applying a voltage which has the same polarity as that of the target biomolecule to the electrode of the first chamber, and a voltage which has an opposite charge to that of the target biomolecule to the electrode of the second chamber; and translocating only the particles to which the target biomolecule is bound from the first chamber to the second chamber through the pore. Conventionally, the size of a pore is used to separate biomolecules. However, effective separation is difficult to achieve because the manufacture of a pore with a diameter of less than 10 nm, small enough to separate biomolecule, is not easy.
