NANOPORE SENSOR SYSTEM

摘要

The invention relates to a nanopore sensor system including methods of fabrication and uses disclosed herein. In some embodiments, the invention relates to a substrate comprising a lipid membrane, preferably a phospholipid bilayer film, having a nanopore and a gel surrounding said lipid membrane. In additional embodiments, the invention relates to compositions and methods of using and making a substrate that has a lipid membrane having a single channel protein surrounded with a gel. In further embodiments, the invention relates to a method of detecting an analyte by mixing a nanopore sensor with a solution suspected of containing an analyte, measuring electrical properties, and correlating changes of electrical properties to the existence of an analyte.
