ABSTRACT:
An artificial lipid bilayer membrane formation device is disclosed. It includes: an upper solution chamber whose bottom has a small hole; a lower solution chamber having a support layer; and lipid solution exclusion device. Lipid solution is applied to the small hole, and the lipid solution exclusion device excludes surplus lipid solution without changing a hydraulic pressure so that the lipid solution is in contact with the support layer, thereby forming an artificial lipid bilayer membrane on the small hole.
