We present data concerning the electrical properties of a class of biosensor devices based on bio-functionalized solid state nanopores able to detect different kinds of interactions between probe molecules, chemically attached to the pore surface, and target molecules present in solution and electrophoretically drawn through the nanometric channel. The great potentiality of this approach resid...<br/><br/>V Mussi, P Fanzio, L Repetto, G Firpo, P Scaruffi, S Stigliani, M Menotta, M Magnani, G P Tonini and U Valbusa (2010) <i>Journal of Physics: Condensed Matter</i> 22: 454104<br/>

The possible use of nanopores for single DNA molecules biosensing has been demonstrated, but much remains to do in order to develop advanced engineered devices with enhanced stability, and controlled geometry and surface properties. Here we present morphological and electrical characterization of solid state silicon nitride nanopores fabricated by focused ion beam direct milling and chemically fun...<br/><br/>V Mussi, P Fanzio, L Repetto, G Firpo, P Scaruffi, S Stigliani, G P Tonini, U Valbusa (2010) <i>Nanotechnology</i> <i></i> <i></i> 21: 14 <br/>

Recently, nanopore technology has been introduced for genome analysis. Here we show results related to the possibility of preparing "engineered solid state nanopores". The nanopores were fabricated on a suspended Si3N4 membrane by Focused Ion Beam (FIB) drilling and chemically functionalized in order to covalently bind oligonucleoticles (probes) on their surface. Our data show the stable effect of...<br/><br/>V Mussi, P Fanzio, L Repetto, G Firpo, U Valbusa, P Scaruffi, S Stigliani, G P Tonini (2009) <i>SUPERLATTICES AND MICROSTRUCTURES</i> <i></i> <i></i> 46: 1-2 59-63<br/>

We report the description af a new low cost method to create a device based on a chemically modified nanopore created on a polymeric membrane. Using Soft-Lithography and Nanofabrication it can be possible to create a nanopore on a free standing polymeric membrane. After oligonucleotide functionalization of the lumen of the nanopore it is possible to detect specific sequences of DNA, thanks to the ...<br/><br/>P. Fanzio, E. Angeli, V. Mussi, U. Valbusa, P.

The use of biological “nanopores” as sensors for single molecules like DNA was recently demonstrated: the passage of the molecules through the pore separating two electrolyte-filled reservoirs is induced by a voltage application and detected as a current drop. Present attention is devoted to solid state nanopores, with obvious advantages, such as high stability, control of diameter, adjustable...<br/><br/>V. Mussi, P. Fanzio, L. Repetto, G. Firpo, U.
