Imec achieved a major leap in nanopore technology, establishing a scalable process to mass-produce solid-state nanopores using deep UV lithography - potentially reaching sub-10nm precision. This robust platform offers vast potential for innovation in numerous fields. Nanopores are set to transform proteomics with high-throughput single-molecule protein sequencing. Other exciting applications are reading DNA barcodes for protein detection, analyzing proteoforms, enabling DNA memory, and exploring the gut microbiome. Imec is seeking assay partners with strong chemistry expertise to test applications on the multi-pore array demonstrator that is under development (= a multi-pore array combined with fluidics and read-out electronics).
