The present disclosure provides a biomolecule sequencing device that includes at least one set of nano-gap electrodes arranged so that a current flows when a biomolecule contained in a sample passes in proximity to the set of nano-gap electrodes, an electrophoresis electrode pair for forming an electric field for moving the biomolecule between the electrodes of the set of nano-gap electrodes, a flow path for flowing the sample in a direction towards the nano-gap electrode pair, a flow path for flowing the sample in a direction away from the nano-gap electrode pair, a measurement unit configured to measure a tunnel current generated when the biomolecule passes between the electrodes of the nano-gap electrode pair with an electric field being formed, and an identification unit configured to sequence the biomolecule. |
