applications

one sensing principle, many molecular questions

Nanopores are not limited to a single analyte. Different pores, carriers and analysis methods open complementary views across sequence, structure and kinetics.

molecular scope

sequence, structure and kinetics

Each application asks a different physical question, but all depend on resolving how one molecule changes ionic transport through a nanoscale constriction.

01

dna and rna

Read native nucleic acids directly while retaining length, modification and kinetic information.

02

proteins & peptides

Probe mass, conformation, sequence variation and post-translational modification one molecule at a time.

03

glycans & metabolites

Extend stochastic sensing beyond nucleic acids to chemically diverse biological analytes.

04

single-molecule physics

Observe transport, folding, binding and enzyme motion without ensemble averaging.

05

clinical research

Develop compact assays for biomarkers, rare molecules and rapid molecular classification.

06

environmental sensing

Translate label-free electrical detection into field-ready monitoring of biological signatures.
