| Research Abstract |
Chemically or Physically modified Nanopoes have been fabricated by deposition organic molecules or evaporating Au on the SiN membrane. We have realized that both modified nanopores reduce the chance of DNA clogging into nanopores by using a fluorescence microscope to observe the DNA translocation directly. In addition, we have investigated the way to remove DNA's after DNA's get stuck in nanopores. AC voltage adding to DC offset voltage induces to remove the stuck DNA's.
