  • Electrochemical detection of single molecules using abiotic nanopores having electrically tunable dimensions
    Patent number: 7638034
    Abstract: A barrier structure for use in an electrochemical stochastic membrane sensor for single molecule detection. The sensor is based upon inorganic nanopores having electrically tunable dimensions. The inorganic nanopores are formed from inorganic materials and an electrically conductive polymer. Methods of making the barrier structure and sensing single molecules using the barrier structure are also described.
    Type: Grant
    Filed: September 21, 2006
    Date of Patent: December 29, 2009
    Assignee: Los Alamos National Security, LLC
    Inventors: Jose-Maria Sansinena, Antonio Redondo, Virginia Olazabal, Mark A. Hoffbauer, Elshan A. Akhadov
