Abstract:
Translocation events are sensed using composite nanopore assemblies including nanopores formed in graphene sheets. Single molecule detection and characterization and multi-molecule characterization and identification are provided using such assemblies. Multiple electrodes associated with nanofluidic sensors facilitate detection of ionic current through a nanopore as well as tunneling currents. Current signals of individual molecules are estimated from the combination of an ionic current signal through the nanopore and tunneling current signals obtained at specific locations within the nanopore.

Claim (Index 21):
A nanopore assembly for detecting translocation of charged molecules, comprising:\n a solid state membrane, the solid state membrane including a plurality of first nanopores extending therethrough; a plurality of graphene layers in alternating sequence with and electrically isolated by the solid state membrane, each of the plurality of graphene layers including a plurality of discrete graphene strips, each of the discrete graphene strips including a plurality of second nanopores extending therethrough, the second nanopores extending through each discrete graphene strip being coaxially aligned, respectively, with a plurality of the first nanopores and a plurality of the second nanopores extending through another one of the discrete graphene strips.
