Methods and Products for Analyzing Polymers
Methods and products for analyzing polymers are provided. The methods include methods for determining various other structural properties of the polymers.
1 .- 160 . (canceled)
161 . A method for analyzing a nucleotide polymer including linked nucleotide units, the method comprising:
moving a plurality of nucleotide units of the nucleotide polymer through a nanochannel by applying a voltage potential between first and second electrodes disposed in first and second chambers on opposite sides of the nanochannel and in fluid communication with the nanochannel; and
detecting sequentially signals arising from a detectable physical change in the polymer or a station as individual nucleotide units of the plurality of nucleotide units pass the station.
