The Technology
The present patented technology is in the field of single-molecule detection in cases where the source sample is extremely dilute to the point where measurement is prohibited. Single molecule nanopore biosensors are integrated down-stream of a fluidic device that features electrokinetic focusing which increases the overall apparatus sensitivity by orders of magnitude, circumventing molecular amplification procedures.
Advantages
- Ultra-fast, high specificity and high-sensitivity detection and classification of a molecule of interest from diluted samples.
Applications and Opportunities
- Single-molecule detection
- In-vitro diagnostics (IVD)
