Here, we developed a device integrated with a nanochannel and nanostructures to slow DNA translocation velocity. We found that translocation velocity of a single DNA molecule inside a nanochannel was decreased by pre-elongating it using some nanostructures, such as a shallow channel or nanopillars. This decrease of the translocation velocity was associated with the DNA mobility change, which is an intrinsic parameter of DNA molecules and unaffected by an electric field.

Molecular filtration and purification play important roles for biomolecule analysis. However, it is still necessary to improve efficiency and reduce the filtration time. Here, we show self-assembled nanowire arrays as three-dimensional (3D) nanopores embedded in a microfluidic channel for ultrafast DNA filtration. The 3D nanopore structure was formed by a vapor-liquid-solid (VLS) nanowire growth technique, which allowed us to control pore size of the filtration material by varying the number of growth cycles. λ DNA molecules (48.5 kbp) were filtrated from a mixture of T4 DNA (166 kbp) at the entrance of the 3D nanopore structure within 1 s under an applied electric field. Moreover, we observed single DNA molecule migration of T4 and λ DNA molecules to clarify the filtration mechanism. The 3D nanopore structure has simplicity of fabrication, flexibility of pore size control and reusability for biomolecule filtration. Consequently it is an excellent material for biomolecular filtration.

In the present study, we address theoretical approaches for the experimental results to investigate the flow dynamics of λDNA through a nanochannel in which two nanoelectrodes are integrated. In order to elucidate the relationship between the longitudinal ionic current and the electrophoresis of λDNA in the specific micro/nanofluidics, we develop a theoretical model for the macroscopic fluid dynamics in a Lagrangian framework. The measured current change associated with a single molecule translocation through the channel is explained by the principle of the Coulter counter that allowed to predict the conformation of λDNA. We also analyze the local velocity of λDNA passing through a nanoscaled confined channel. A result from the model is in considerable agreement with the experimental observations for the electrophoretic flow of λDNA. The basic knowledge obtained here may be useful in developing electrical methods for controlling the electrophoretic velocity of single-molecule DNA for realizing the nanopore sequencer.
