Claim Text:
1. A method for wetting a nanopore device, the method comprising: filling a first cavity of the nanopore device with a first buffer solution having a first potential hydrogen (pH) value; filling a second cavity of the nanopore device with the first buffer solution having the first pH value; measuring a first current in the nanopore device in response to applying a first voltage in the nanopore device, the first current having a current path partially defined by the first cavity, the second cavity, and an orifice communicative with the first cavity and the second cavity; flushing the first buffer solution having the first pH value from the second cavity and filling the second cavity with a second buffer solution having a second pH value of 1.9 to 2.1, wherein the second pH value is different from the first pH value; and measuring a second current in the nanopore device in response to applying a second voltage in the nanopore device.
