| contents | The integration and parallelization of nanopore sensors are essential for improving the throughput of nanopore measurements. Solid-state nanopores traditionally have been used in isolation, which prevents the realization of their full potential in applications. In this study, we present the microfluidic integration of an array of 30 nanopores, which, to our knowledge, is the highest number reported to date. Our microfluidic network was fabricated using high-resolution epoxy photoresists, and the solid-state membranes were bonded through a dry process using complementary surface chemistries. We successfully measured integrated nanopores using external electrodes. This paper discusses the limitations of our methods, particularly concerning microfluidic interfacing and scaling to higher channel counts. Additionally, we present theoretical analysis of current blockades and noise in integrated nanopores, predicting that maintaining low series resistance between the nanopore and electrode is crucial for resolving short events. |
