Conventional concepts of resistive pulse analysis is to discriminate particles in liquid by the difference their size through comparing amount ionic current blockage. In sharp contrast, we herein report a proof-of-concept demonstration shape sensing capability solid-state pore sensors leveraging synergy between nanopore technology and machine learning. We found spikes similar patterns for two bacteria reflecting closely resembled morphology an ultra-low thickness-to-diameter aspect-ratio...
Measuring ionic currents passing through nano- or micropores has shown great promise for the electrical discrimination of various biomolecules, cells, bacteria, and viruses. However, conventional measurements have there is an inherent limitation to detectable particle volume (1% pore volume), which critically hinders applications real mixtures biomolecule samples with a wide size range suspended particles. Here we propose rational methodology that can detect 0.01% by measuring transient...
The detection of circulating tumor cells (CTCs) from liquid biopsies using microfluidic devices is attracting a considerable amount attention as new, less-invasive cancer diagnostic and prognostic method.

Ionic current sensing methods are useful tools for detecting sub- to several-micron scale particles such as bacteria. However, conventional commercially available ionic devices not suitable on-site measurement use because of inherent limitations on their robustness. Here, we proposed a portable robust sensor (Robust-ICS) using bridge circuit that offers high signal-to-noise (S/N) ratio by suppressing background current. Because the Robust-ICS can tolerate increased noise in sensing, simple,...
The molecular stretching of DNA is an indispensable tool for the optical exploration base sequences and epigenomic changes at a single molecule level. In terminal-unmodified molecules parallel to each other on solid substrate, receding meniscus assembly capillary force through dewetting process are quite useful. These can be achieved by pulling substrate out solution or sliding droplet between pair substrates. However, currently used methods do not allow control over liquid interface motion...
