Abstract:

Solid-state nanopores have emerged as a single molecule label-free electronic detection platform. Existing transimpedance stages used to measure ionic current nanopores suffer from dynamic range limitations resulting from steady-state baseline currents. We propose a digitally-assisted baseline cancellation CMOS platform that circumvents this issue. Since baseline cancellation is a form of auto-zeroing, the 1/f noise of the system is also reduced. Our proposed design can tolerate a steady state baseline current of 10μA and has a usable bandwidth of 750kHz. Quantitative DNA translocation experiments on 5kbp DNA was performed using a 5nm silicon nitride pore using both the CMOS platform and a commercial system. Comparison of event-count histograms show that the CMOS platform clearly outperforms the commercial system, allowing for unambiguous interpretation of the data.
