The measured fluctuations of fluorescence allow the evaluation of the concentration of molecules directly inside the nanochannel. Here, we supply theoretical models describing the concentration profile of proteins inside nano-confinements, taking into account the steric exclusion, the presence of reversibly adsorbed molecules on surfaces and the exclusion-enrichment effect due to interaction with the electrical double layer. Therefore, this study presents a new step for a deeper understanding of the transport of molecules in nanofluidics.DiffusionFluorescence correlation spectroscopyNanochannelNanofluidicsProteinWheat germ agglutinintext::conference output::conference proceedings::conference paper
