Abstract

Current low density lipoprotein (LDL) apheresis procedures are expensive and time consuming. We report here a novel technique to detect and separate nanoparticles using solid state nanopores. Our technique relies on the resistive pulse phenomenon used in coulter counters. We used a 150nm diameter nanopore to detect nanoparticles that closely resembled HDL and LDL in terms of their size and surface charge. Statistical analysis of the translocation data revealed that our setup preferentially allowed the particles resembling HDL to pass thorough while restricting the translocation of the particles that resembled LDL.
