Antigen Detection via the Rate of Ion Current Rectification Change of the Antibody-Modified Glass Nanopore Membrane
Ion current rectification (ICR), defined as an increase in ion conduction at a given polarity and a decrease in ion conduction for the same voltage at the opposite polarity, i.e., a deviation from a linear ohmic response, occurs in conical shaped pores due to the voltage dependent solution conductivity within the aperture. The degree to which the ionic current rectifies is a function of the siz...
متن کاملSimulation of ionic current through the nanopore in a double-layered semiconductor membrane.
We study the effects of different nanopore geometries (double-conical, single-conical, cylindrical) on the electrostatic potential distribution and ionic conductivity in a double-layered semiconductor nanopore device as functions of the applied membrane bias. Ionic current-voltage characteristics as well as their rectification ratios are calculated using a simple ion transport model. Based on o...

متن کاملRectification of Ion Current in Nanopores Depends on the Type of Monovalent Cations: Experiments and Modeling
Rectifying nanopores feature ion currents that are higher for voltages of one polarity compared to the currents recorded for corresponding voltages of the opposite polarity. Rectification of nanopores has been found to depend on the pore opening diameter and distribution of surface charges on the pore walls as well as pore geometry. Very little is known, however, on the dependence of ionic rect...
