Abstract
Surface modification will change the surface charge density (SCD) at the signal-limiting region of nanochannel devices. By fitting the measured i -V curves in simulation via solving the Poisson and Nernst -Planck equations, the SCD and therefore the surface coverage can be noninvasively quantified. Amine terminated organosilanes are employed to chemically modify single conical nanopores. Determined by the protonation -deprotonation of the functional groups, the density and polarity of surface charges are adjusted by solution pH. The rectified current at high conductivity states is found to be proportional to the SCD near the nanopore orifice. This correlation allows the noninvasive determination of SCD and surface coverage of individual conical nanopores.
Microsoft is Ending Support for Windows 7
Microsoft will discontinue support for Windows 7 on January 14, 2020 which means Gamry will also be discontinuing support for Windows 7. If you are upgrading to Windows 10, like many companies and institutions, you need to be running Version 7 of our s oftware . Please note that only USB and Ethernet-based instruments can run in Version 7. Eligible users can download the latest version of our software through our online Client Portal .
If you haven't already registered your instrument, you can do so through the Client Portal .
Please email Technical Support if you have any questions regarding this transition. Please be sure to include your instrument model and serial number when contacting us.
