Abstract

Devices for sequencing biopolymers and methods of using the devices are disclosed. In one example, such a device has a nanopore, a plurality of wells and fluidic tunnels to allow a biopolymer to translocate in the device. In some embodiments, the device may include integrated electronics or micro-electromechanical systems, such as valves, bubble generators/annihilators or pressure pulse generators, to actively control fluidic/ionic/electric flows in the device.
