Electrophoretic capture of an oversized object on a solid-state nanopore is a useful approach for single-particle analyses via post electrical and optical measurements. Here we report on nanoparticle discriminations by the volume through combining this nanopore trap method with the cross-membrane ionic current measurements. We investigated ion transport through a pore channel being partially occluded by an electrophoretically-drawn nanoparticle at the orifice. We found distinct difference in the amount of current blockage by particles of different sizes. Multiphysics simulations revealed dominant contribution of particle volume over the other properties. We also demonstrated single-particle discriminations of two different sizes in a mixture solution. The present results demonstrate that this electrical capturing is a promising technique to immobilize a target at a single particle level that concomitantly offer wealth of information concerning their volume.
