Nanopore Reader 100 KHz

A compact and portable read-out device with reusable flow-cells for ultra low noise recordings of solid state nanopores and biological pores. It is suitable for experimental activities such as lipid bilayer measurements, DNA translocation and single molecule detection.

Same instrument, two applications

If combined with the specific flowcell, the Nanopore Reader 100 kHz can be used with both biological pores and solid state nanopores. Just ask your desired Flow Cell!

Biological pores

Biological nanopores are purified nanosized pore forming proteins inserted in a membrane of choice; mostly planar lipid membranes housed inside an electrochemical chamber. By monitoring ion currents and forces as molecules pass through a biological nanpore, it is possible to investigate a wide range of phenomena involving DNA and RNA.

Use Cases

Solid State pores

Solid State Nanopores Application

Artificial solid-state nanopores are nanosized pores fabricated in insulating membranes. By monitoring ion currents and forces as molecules pass through a solid-state nanopore, it is possible to investigate a wide range of phenomena involving DNA, RNA and proteins.

Use Cases

Bilayer Lipid Membrane Chip (Flow Cell for Biological Nanopores) – The Flowcell is made by a layer of Polymide 12.5 μm thick and it hosts the micro hole for BLM formation that is available in two different sizes (100 μm, 150 μm). Both chambers are accessible and can be filled with low volumes (60 μl).

  • Reusable Flowcells: depending on your application you can use multiple times a single flowcell.
  • Typical membrane capacitance in the BLMchip:   20-50 pF in BLMchip 100 µm | 50-110 pF in BLMchip 150 µm

Flow Cell (for Solid State Nanopores) – The nanopore containing chip fits in a 5×5 mm² cavity and is secured with silicone rubber gaskets. Both chambers are accessible and can be filled with low volumes (10 μl – 60 μl of electrolyte solution). The nanopore chip can be rapidly changed without tools and the flow cell is reusable.

  • Flowcell materials: Standard PMMA, Delrin, or Teflon
  • Nanopore Chip not included
  • Chip thickness: 200 µm
