The widespread implementation of solid-state nanopores faces challenges such as lower resolution and increased electrical noise when compared to biological nanopores. Incorporating specific nucleic acid reactions can enhance resolution. In this study, we've developed a nucleic acid amplifier to enhance the sensitivity of solid-state nanopores, utilizing a G-rich sequence and hybridization chain reaction. This amplifier improves target concentration and volume amplification, showing promise in nanopore sensitivity tests.
