Background
In the aspects of physical, chemical and biological research, the extraction and detection of weak current signals always restrict the rapid development of a single-molecule behavior measurement method. Because of weak currentSignals are easily disturbed by the external environment, and with the addition of their low values, the weak current signals of the relevant single-molecule studies are usually buried in the background signal if the relevant signal is not processed. In addition, the time scale of behavior of a single molecule is very small (on the order of microseconds) from a physical and chemical standpoint. Therefore, for weak current signals (typically less than 10)-11A) High-frequency detection (sampling frequency is 10-500KHz) and analysis are the key points for realizing the observation of individual behaviors of single molecules by an electrochemical method. However, current electrochemical analysis uses electrochemical stations capable of detecting only currents greater than 10-9A, and high-speed sampling cannot be achieved. In addition, some existing weak signal detection systems, such as patch clamp, the device can only be applied to monitoring of ion channel current on the surface of cell membrane, and in the aspect of biological nanopore detection, the device cannot be used in detection of single molecule electrochemical reaction due to the device structure, and the data analysis of the device is complicated and needs to be carried out by using separate software, and the data generated by experiment cannot be obtained by what you see; in summary, there is no high-speed sampling detection device and analysis method for single-molecule electrochemical analysis.

Detailed Description
The following merely illustrates the principles of the invention. Therefore, although not explicitly described or shown in the present specification, those skilled in the art can implement the principle of the invention and invent various devices included in the concept and scope of the invention. Further, it is to be understood that all terms and embodiments of the appended claims are principally intended expressly to be only for understanding the concept of the invention, and are not to be construed as limiting the embodiments and aspects specifically enumerated herein.
The first embodiment is as follows: nanocapillary ion current detection
In order to measure weak current signals of the small-sized quartz nano-capillary, the concentration of electrolyte filled in the small-sized quartz nano-capillary with the diameter of 54nm is 0.1 mM. The voltage signal amplified by a current amplifier is acquired by a PCIe6353 data acquisition card (DAQ card) of NI (national instruments), the electrode adopts a two-electrode system (Ag/AgCl electrode), the voltage range is set to be 0.5V to-0.5V through a control system, the voltage change amplitude is 10mV/s, the current-voltage curve of the nano capillary needs to be measured is considered, the measurement of single molecule information is not involved, therefore, the sampling frequency of the current signal is set to be 1KHz, and the current amplification ratio is set to be 107V/A, reducing the finally amplified voltage signal into a current signal through a control and analysis system, storing and displaying the current signal, and processing the current signal through a Python program to obtain the current signal under different voltages acquired as shown in figure 3, wherein the result shows that the detection device can detect weak electricity in the nano channelThe flow is detected. Referring to fig. 4, the result of signal analysis shows that the apparatus and the analysis method can detect and analyze pA-level weak current.
Example two: detection of DNA transport in nanocapillary
In order to detect the transmission process of single DNA molecules in a quartz nanocapillary with the diameter of 38nm and the voltage of 0.5V, lambda-DNA is selected as a detection molecule, because the time for the single DNA molecules to pass through the nanochannel is very short (mu s), the sampling frequency of the device must be increased in order to record that the single DNA molecules pass through the nanochannel, the sampling frequency of 100KHz is selected in the test, when the detection bandwidth (the sampling frequency of signals) of the device is increased, the output amplitude of a current amplifier is reduced, and in order to control the amplitude reduction, the amplification ratio of the current amplifier is adjusted to 104V/A, collecting the amplified signals by using a PCIe6353 data acquisition card (DAQ card) of NI (national instruments) company, and performing low-pass filtering on the signals by using a two-electrode system (Ag/AgCl electrode) for 10 KHz. The measured DNA via current signals are shown in FIG. 5, and the scatter plot between the detected DNA residence time and the current response signals is shown in FIG. 6, which indicates that the apparatus and the analysis method are fully applicable to single-molecule electrochemical analysis. FIG. 7 is a graph of a 500KHz current sampling signal.
EXAMPLE III Single molecule Transmission Signal analysis
Since the signal generated by the DNA molecule during nanopore transmission is a time series signal, when a single DNA molecule passes through the nanochannel, the DNA molecule blocks the transmission of ions in the nanochannel, which in turn causes a decrease in ion current in the nanochannel. In addition, the transmission speed of the DNA molecules in the nanochannel is quite high, so that a time series signal with a large data volume is generated finally, and how to analyze and acquire the information transmitted by the DNA molecules in the signal becomes a problem to be solved in single molecule analysis. The invention integrates a processing program of time sequence analysis signals in a device, which adopts a cumulative sum algorithm (CUSUM), and judges whether DNA molecules are transmitted or not, the magnitude of the blocking current in the transmission process and the retention time of DNA in a nano channel by analyzing the difference between the cumulative sum value of the signals transmitted by the DNA molecules and the cumulative sum value of the signals transmitted by the DNA molecules through a computer program. In the algorithm, when the standard deviation of the baseline current signal in the nano-channel is calculated and the standard deviation of the blocking current in the DNA transmission process is set to be more than 5 times of the standard deviation of the baseline current signal, the DNA molecule can be considered to pass through the nano-channel.
As described above, although the present invention has been described with reference to the preferred embodiments, those skilled in the art can implement the present invention with various modifications and variations without departing from the spirit and scope of the present invention as set forth in the appended claims.
