Abstract
Nanofluidic devices combining nanochannels and nanopores may enable a range of novel applications in the field of single-molecule biosensing and manipulation. Here we combine classic lithographically based fabrication and electron beam milling to construct a device that integrates sealed transverse features, such as nanocavities and nanochannels, with embedded pores vertically intersecting the nanochannels. Using fluorescent microscopy, we demonstrate that DNA molecules can be introduced into the nanochannels and translated transversely across the embedded pore in an extended-conformation without undergoing cross-pore translocation. Upon application of a trans-pore voltage drop, the molecules will undergo cross-pore translocation into an adjoining macroscopic reservoir.
