Abstract
A capillary ionic transistor and method of using is disclosed. The method including providing a capillary pipette () having an inner surface defining a channel, and a conductive layer disposed () about electrode the channel; filling at least a portion of the channel with an ionic solution () such that an electrical double layer forms on the inner surface of the pipette; inducing an electric potential within the ionic solution sufficient to generate a longitudinal flow of ions within the channel; and inducing an electric potential in the conductive layer sufficient to alter the zeta potential of the electrical double layer and adjust the flow of ions within the ionic solution.
