Abstract:
1. A device comprising: a plurality of measurement cells, each measurement cell including a cell electrode above which a nanopore is formed, the cell electrode configurable to apply a distinct potential that is independent from cell electrodes in other measurement cells, each measurement cell including an integrator electronically coupled to the cell electrode; a common electrode, the common electrode configured to apply a common potential to a liquid above the nanopores formed above the cell electrodes in the plurality of measurement cells, wherein the common potential is common to all of the measurement cells, and wherein the integrator in each measurement cell measures the current flowing between the common electrode and the cell electrode in the measurement cell; a plurality of analog-to-digital converters, wherein an integrator from the plurality of measurement cells is electrically coupled to one analog-to-digital converter of the plurality of analog-to-digital converters.
