'''Tunable Resistive Pulse Sensing''' ('''TRPS''') is a single-particle technique used to measure the size, concentration and [[zeta potential]] of particles as they pass through a size-tunable [[nanopore]].<ref>{{cite journal | vauthors = Sowerby SJ, Broom MF, Petersen GB | title = Dynamically resizable nanometre-scale apertures for molecular sensing
The technique adapts the principle of [[resistive pulse sensing]], which monitors current flow through an aperture, combined with the use of tunable nanopore technology, allowing the passage of ionic current and particles to be regulated by adjusting the pore size.<ref name="

Particles crossing a nanopore are detected one at a time as a transient change in the ionic current flow, which is denoted as a blockade event with its amplitude denoted as the blockade magnitude. As blockade magnitude is proportional to particle size, accurate particle sizing can be achieved after calibration with a known standard. This standard is composed of particles of a known size and concentration. For TRPS, carboxylated polystyrene particles are often used.<ref name=":2">{{
Nanopore-based detection allows particle-by-particle assessment of complex mixtures.<ref>{{
Adjustments to nanopore stretch, in combination with a fine-control of pressure and voltage allow TRPS to determine sample concentration <ref>
