TL;DR
This paper reviews the development of nanopore sensing technology, comparing biological and solid-state nanopores and their in-plane and out-of-plane configurations for detecting single molecules without labels.
Contribution
The paper provides a comprehensive review of the evolution of nanopore configurations and materials for single-molecule detection.
Findings
Biological nanopores are dominant due to their small size, while solid-state nanopores offer stability and versatility.
In-plane nanopores fabricated in plastics via replication technologies represent a significant advancement.
Signal-to-noise ratio is influenced by pore size relative to the target molecule and the material used.
Abstract
Nanopore sensing provides an ideal strategy for the label-free detection of single molecules in a variety of application scenarios. Working under the principle of resistive pulse sensing (RPS), nanopores consist of constrictions with sub-100 nm dimensions to enable single-molecule resolution by matching pore size to target dimensions (scaling); the optimal signal-to-noise ratio (SNR) results when the electrically biased pore is comparable in size to the molecule to be analyzed. When single molecules are electrokinetically transported through such remarkably small pores, they temporarily disturb the flux of ions moving through them, generating unique signals. These signals vary based upon the molecules' shape, size, orientation, and other physicochemical properties. Nanopores are generally divided into two main categories owing to their fabrication approach and material: biological and…
