“…The unique features of nanochannels with a characteristic size smaller than 100 nm include ion concentration polarization (ICP), 1,2 electrical double layer (EDL) overlap, 3,4 ion rectification, 5 and nanocapillarity. 6 These features enable their application in areas such as DNA manipulation, [7][8][9] seawater desalination, 10 nanofiltration, 11 nanofluidic transistors, 12,13 biosensors, 14 nanofluidic diodes, 15 protein preconcentration 16,17 and detection, 18 and nanoelectroporation (NEP). [19][20][21][22] NEP is emerging as a precise tool for a single cell study that is more efficient than bulk electroporation (BEP) or microfluidics-based electroporation (MEP) in cell transfection, because of its low cell damage and deformation, very short electroporation duration, high efficiency, and precise dose control.…”
