There is provided a first reservoir containing a liquid solution including a molecule to be characterized and a second reservoir for containing a liquid solution including a molecule that has been characterized. A solid state support structure is provided including an aperture having a molecular entrance providing a fluidic connection to the first reservoir and a molecular exit providing a fluidic connection to the second reservoir. First and second electron transport probes are each disposed on the support structure with a surface abutting a perimeter of the aperture. At least one of the probes comprises a fullerene structure, e.g. a carbon nanotube. A voltage source is connected …

Why it's free to use
- Filed April 6, 2006 and granted October 1, 2013. A Canadian patent filed from October 1, 1989 lasts 20 years from filing, so its term ended April 6, 2026.

- We check Canadian rights only. A patent in its family in another country could still be in force: check its family on Google Patents.
