Abstract:
1. A method for wetting a nanopore device, the method comprising: filling a first cavity of the nanopore device with a first KCL buffer solution having a first potential hydrogen (pH) value of 7.5 to 8; filling a second cavity of the nanopore device with a second KCL buffer solution having a second pH value of 10.9 to 2.1; wherein the nanopore device includes a transistor portion having a first surface, an opposing second surface, and an orifice as a single pore communicative with the first surface and the second surface, the first surface partially defining the first cavity, the second surface partially defining the second cavity; applying a voltage in the nanopore device; and measuring a current in the nanopore device, the current having a current path partially defined by the first cavity, the second cavity, and the orifice.
