1. A method for analyzing a polymer of linked units comprisingmoving a plurality of individual units of a polymer of linked units through a channel and exposing the plurality of individual units to an agent selected from the group consisting of electromagnetic radiation, a quenching source and a fluorescence excitation source as the units move past the agent, individual units interacting with the agent to produce a detectable signal within the channel or at the edge of the channel, and detecting sequentially the signals resulting from said interaction to analyze the polymer.
