This study demonstrates the use of salt gradient for fine control of capture-to-translocation dynamics in solid-state nanopores, resulting in improved nanoparticle detection efficiency. The findings pave the way for enhancing nanopore sensing capability for detecting biomolecules.
Tuning capture rates and translocation time of analytes in solid-state nanopores are one of the major challenges for their use in detecting and analyzing individual nanoscale objects via ionic current measurements. Here, we report on the use of salt gradient for the fine control of capture-to-translocation dynamics in 300 nm sized SiNx nanopores. We demonstrated a decrease up to a factor of 3 in the electrophoretic speed of nanoparticles at the pore exit along with an over 3-fold increase in particle detection efficiency by subjecting a 5-fold ion concentration difference across the dielectric membrane. The improvement in the sensor performance was elucidated to be a result of the salt-gradient-mediated electric field and electroosmotic flow asymmetry at nanochannel orifices. The present findings can be used to enhance nanopore sensing capability for detecting biomolecules such as amyloids and proteins.
