The effect of applied pressure on event duration distributions in 3 kb dsDNA translocation is systematically investigated. The effects of pressure magnitude and nanopore size on the length discrimination between 615 bp and 1.14 kbp dsDNA is studied. The pressure-controlled DNA translocation in solid-state nanopores makes a significant contribution to improve the temporal resolution in DNA single-molecule detection.
Keywords: DNA translocation; pressure gradients; short molecule selectivity; solid-state nanopores.
