Claims22
A device for determining a monomer molecule sequence of a polymer comprising:
- a pair of first electrodes that are formed of a first material and separated from each other by a gap;
- a pair of second electrodes that are separated from each other by a gap and formed of a material having electrical characteristics different from the electrical characteristics of the material of the pair of first electrodes;
- a pair of insulating materials between the pair of first electrodes and the pair of second electrodes, wherein the pair of insulating materials are separated from each other by a gap;
- wherein the gap separating the pair of first electrodes, the gap separating the pair of insulating materials, and the gap separating the pair of second electrodes are stacked in alignment to form a path through which a polymer can move;
- electrical signal detectors respectively connected to the pair of first electrodes and the pair of second electrodes;
- a polymer positioning unit for disposing the polymer in the path;
- and
- a polymer moving unit for rotating or left-right shifting or moving longitudinally along the path the polymer disposed in the path.
