In this work we report on how salt concentration and cation species affect DNA translocation in voltage-biased silicon nitride nanopores. The translocation of double-stranded DNA (dsDNA) in linear, circular, and supercoiled forms was measured in salt solutions containing KCl, NaCl, and MgCl2. As the KCl concentrations were decreased from 1M to 0.1M, the time taken by a DNA molecule to pass through a nanopore was shorter and the frequency of the translocation in a folded configuration was reduced, suggesting an increase in DNA electrophoretic mobility and DNA persistence length. When the salt concentration was kept at 1M, but replacing K+ with Na+, longer DNA translocation times (td) were observed. The addition of low concentrations of MgCl2 with 1.6M KCl resulted in longer td and an increased frequency of supercoiled DNA molecules in a branched form. These observations were consistent with the greater counterion charge screening ability of Na+ and Mg2+ as compared to K+. In addition, we demonstrated that dsDNA molecules indeed translocated through a ~10 nm nanopore by PCR amplification and gel electrophoresis. We also compared the dependence of DNA mobility and conformation on KCl concentration and cation species measured at single molecule level by silicon nitride nanopores with existing bulk-based experimental results and theoretical predictions.
