Precision Temperature Control for Nanopore Systems

This invention introduces a system for controlling the temperature of extremely small volumes, such as yoctoliter-sized spaces. It utilizes plasmonic nanostructures positioned near a nanopore, which heat up rapidly when exposed to laser light. This heating effect alters the ionic conductance along

A Smarter Way to Separate and Analyze Substances

NIST Inventors
Wyatt N. Vreeland
This invention introduces a method and device for affinity gradient focusing, which directs analytes in a solution containing a pseudo-stationary phase within a channel, such as a capillary or microchannel. It establishes a steady-state spatial gradient in the retention factor of the pseudo
