Abstract:
1. A nanoparticle translocation device, comprising: a first reservoir having a first reservoir electrode; a second reservoir having a second reservoir electrode; at least one nanopore providing fluid communication between the first and second reservoirs; one or more inner annular electrode layers disposed on an inner wall of the nanopore; one or more outer annular electrode layers, separate from the inner electrode layers and disposed on an outer wall of the nanopore; and at least one DC voltage supply for selectively applying a DC voltage to each of the first reservoir electrode, the second reservoir electrode, and the outer annular electrode layers, wherein the inner annular electrode layers, the outer annular electrode layers, and the nanopore are in a substantially annular coaxial arrangement, and wherein the outer annular electrode layers overlie the inner annular electrode layers.
