1. A method for analyzing molecules using a nanopore array including a plurality of cells included on a chip, the method comprising:
assembling a first set of membranes in the plurality of cells;
inserting a first set of nanopores in the first set of membranes;
analyzing a first sample using the first set of nanopores;
after analyzing the first sample, rinsing out the plurality of cells to remove the first sample, the first set of membranes, and the first set of nanopores from within the plurality of cells;
assembling a second set of membranes in the plurality of cells;
inserting a second set of nanopores in the second set of membranes; and
analyzing a second sample using the second set of nanopores.
