Cartoon of a biological nanopore-based sensor (gray), which detects WDR5 (red) one molecule at a time. The detection signal (bottom) shows a cartoon of what the raw sensor signal looks like.

Covid-19 Aptamer-nanopore sensor detects only infectious viruses DNA-based device might offer rapid COVID-19 test that is not fooled by dead virus by Mark Peplow, special to C&EN ...

Researchers discuss a highly sensitive, specific, and rapid SARS-CoV-2 detection platform by coupling the RT-LAMP with glass nanopore sensors.

Based on single-nanopore membranes, an international interdisciplinary team of researchers developed a test method that detects SARS-CoV-2 in saliva, without sample pretreatment, with the same ...

In a recent Nature Nanotechnology study, researchers describe diverse applications of nanopore-based technology beyond deoxyribonucleic acid (DNA) sequencing. More specifically, the current ...

The nanopore also acts as a filter, reducing background noise from unrelated molecules that could obscure important signals. Unlike conventional sensors, which require external filters that may ...

Mar 20, 2023 A broadly applicable nanopore sensor capable of single-molecule precision (Nanowerk News) While a popular hobby for many, fishing is also a pastime full of uncertainty. Each time you have ...

What distinguishes this discovery is that the nanopore is not just a sensor but itself acts as a filter, reducing background noise from other molecules in a sample that could obscure critical signals.

Nanopores, which are tiny openings in a membrane so small that only a single DNA strand or virus particle can pass through, are an exciting new platform for building sensors. Often, an electrical ...

Researchers show plugging a nanopore sensor with gold could help detect ovarian cancer By Conor Hale Feb 12, 2024 10:33am ovarian cancer Virginia Commonwealth University Diagnostics ...

Nanopore sensors are also commercially available, making the sensing technique readily scalable, said Lu, now a professor at the University of Texas, Austin.
