A device and a method for detecting and/or characterizing particles are shown. The device includes at least one nanopore, a voltage source for generating an electric potential difference between the two sides of the at least one nanopore in order to generate an ion current through the nanopore when the nanopore is surrounded by an electrolyte, and a measuring instrument adapted for recording a change in the impedance of the at least one nanopore in respect of the ion current when one or more particles that are to be detected and are present in the electrolyte pass(es) through the at least one nanopore. The device also includes a pipette with an end portion in which an opening is formed. A flow of the particles that are to be detected from outside the pipette is generated through the opening and through the nanopore, and the pipette is moved relative to a sample.
