Abstract
A biochemical sensing system senses interactions between molecular entities and nanopores using a sensor device comprising an array of sensor elements that support the nanopores. A switch arrangement selectively connects detection channels for amplifying sensed electrical signals to respective sensor elements. On the basis of an analysis of the amplified electrical signal output from the detection channels, detection of completion of interactions at sensor elements occurs. In response thereto, the switch arrangement is controlled to connect the detection channel connected to a sensor element at which completion of an interaction has been detected to a further sensor element.
