Claim One:
1. A method for controlling insertion of a pore molecule into a thin film of a device, the thin film separating two pools of a liquid medium, the method comprising: (a) providing, in one of the two pools, an amount of pore molecules sufficient to form at least a single pore in said thin film by insertion of a pore molecule into the thin film; (b) providing a circuit comprising electrodes in the two pools, thereby providing a potential difference across the thin film, said circuit further connected to voltage control logic; (c) detecting insertion of a pore molecule into the thin film by sensing a change in a transport property with the voltage control logic; and (d) adjusting the potential difference in response to the change in a measured transport property resulting from insertion of the pore molecule, to thereby decrease the possibility of insertion of a second pore molecule into said thin film.
