NEW METHOD TO CONTROL NANOPARTICLE DYNAMICS

December 2012

Revalesio scientists, in collaboration with colleagues at the University of Utah, developed a method to control the translocation velocity of nanoparticles across a wide range of sizes. The method utilizes applied pressure in conical nanopores, allowing the regulation of nanoparticle velocity over 3 orders of magnitude and the detection and characterization of the particles over a period of up to 100 milliseconds. In addition to detecting and characterizing nanoparticles, the method can also be applied to small molecules.
