In this communication we show that the resistive‐pulse setup can be employed to control the delivery of single nanoparticles from a nanopipette. The precise pipette positioning for local delivery of nanoparticles can be attained by using it as a scanning ion‐conductance microscopy (SICM) tip. Experimental SICM approach curves fit the developed theory well.
