Abstract:
A micro-droplet fluidic cell includes a membrane structure having a nanopore, a hydrophobic material disposed onto a portion of the membrane structure, and an analyte solution traversing the membrane structure and forming a micro-droplet on a first surface of the membrane structure. Also disclosed are methods for fast ionic current detection using the micro-droplet fluidic cell.
