US Patent 11959904 Nanopore sensing with a fluidic passage

In a method for sensing translocation of a molecule through a nanopore, a molecule in a first fluidic solution in a first fluidic reservoir that is in direct fluidic connection with the nanopore is directed to a nanopore inlet and translocated through the nanopore to a nanopore outlet and through a fluidic passage that is in direct fluidic connection with the nanopore outlet, to a second fluidic solution in a second fluidic reservoir disposed in direct fluidic connection with the fluidic passage. The fluidic passage has at least one fluidic section in which a length of the fluidic section is greater than a width of the fluidic section. Translocation of the molecule through the nanopore is sensed by measuring the electrical potential local to the fluidic passage during the translocation of the molecule.
