Problems solved by technology

However, nanopore technology still faces many challenges: For example, it is difficult to prepare pores with a diameter of less than 2 nm with current technology. How to reduce the speed at which DNA passes through nanopores? How to control the structural morphology of DNA as it passes through the nanopore? How to integrate atomic-scale electrodes into nanopores to achieve single-base resolution? In order to solve the technical problems faced, the invention patent (publication number: JP2011-45944; application number: 201110097791.0) proposed by the applicant of this patent proposes the use of conductive layered materials such as graphene with an atomic layer thickness to achieve the resolution of a single base rate, and the structure of micro-nanofluidic devices is used to control the movement of DNA molecules; however, the structures of these devices are relatively complex

technical field [0001] The invention relates to a sensor, in particular to a high-resolution biosensor. Background technique [0002] Gene electronic sequencing has the advantages of high accuracy, low cost, and high speed. Nanopore is currently the most researched single-molecule electronic sequencing technology. Nanopores are expected to be able to detect and characterize biomolecules such as DNA, RNA, and peptides at the single-molecule resolution level. Potential nanopore-based single-molecule gene sequencing technology does not require fluorescent markers or PCR reactions, and is expected to be able to directly and quickly " Read" the base sequence of DNA or RNA; this sequencing technology is expected to greatly reduce the cost of sequencing and realize personalized medicine. However, nanopore technology still faces many challenges: For example, it is difficult to prepare pores with a diameter less than 2 nm in current technology. How to reduce the speed at which DNA p...
