Our Goals
• To determine which buffer works best
• To use the hydraphile nanopore for– DNA sequencing– Norovirus sensing
• Help to define the width of the hydraphile nanopore.

Tasks• Use QuB to analyze data from four buffers
• Run items through nanopore– Ion Solutions– DNA – Norovirus
• Use passages to get an idea of how wide the nanopore is

Conclusion From Buffers Tests
• Out of the four solutions used, it was determined that KCl is the best choice to use for nanopore sequencing as it gives a more stable membrane.

Painting the Membrane
• Take in and remove lipid hexane solution
• Create air bubble with pipet
• Wipe air bubble over membrane

Inserting Nanopores
• Once a thin membrane is present, we then insert the hydraphile nanopore
• If membrane is too thick, nanopores won’t span length of membrane

Detecting DNA Current Change
• Inserting DNA causes resistances in the current across the membrane– Negative charge across membrane

What We Measured
• 2 major measurements– Blockage %– Dwell Time (ms)
• DNA length– 250 BP– 500 BP– 1,000 BP– 2,500 BP

What Does It Mean & What Is It Useful For?
• Blockage %– Tells us how much of the nanopore has been blocked
– Helps us identify approximate width of DNA/RNA strand
• Event Duration– Tells us how long it took the DNA
segment to pass through the nanopore
– Helps us identify approximate length of the DNA/RNA strand
