Abstract

A rapid (~20 ms) and precise (~110 nm) analytical method is presented for stretching and interrogating single DNA molecules. Conformation, length, speed and fluorescence intensity measurements are obtained simultaneously. This confluence is a step forward towards applications that place a premium on analysis time and spatial resolution, such as single molecule genomic sequencing. Several physical aspects of the electrophoretic translocation of DNA through a nanochannel are investigated.
