First Claim
Patent Images
1. A method of characterizing a polymer in a sample, said method comprising:
- (a) contacting said sample comprising said polymer with a nanopore under conditions so that said polymer translocates through said nanopore, wherein said polymer is labeled with at least one nanoparticle label; and
(b) reading a signal from said nanopore to characterize said polymer in said sample.

Abstract
Methods and systems for characterizing a polymer in a sample are provided. In the subject methods, a sample that includes a polymer labeled with at least one nanoparticle is contacted with a nanopore under conditions so that the polymer translocates through the nanopore. A signal is read from the nanopore to characterize the translocated polymer. The subject systems include a nanopore device and a polymer that is labeled with at least one nanoparticle. Also provided is programming stored on a computer-readable medium for use in practicing the subject methods. Kits for use in practicing the subject methods are also provided.
