Computer simulation showing the gradual passage (from left to right) of the protein alpha-lactalbumin through a solid-state nanopore with a diameter of approximately 4 nanometers. The passage of the protein through the pores allows the reading of the sequence of markers attached to the cysteine ​​groups (red color) and the identification of the protein.

Without antibodies and without amplification: Rapid identification of intact proteins with technology developed at the Technion

Nano-needle technology from Prof. Amit Meller's lab enables rapid, digital identification of individual proteins in near real-time, paving the way for early diagnosis of cancer and other diseases through simple blood tests.
