In this paper, the charged polymer escapement phenomenon, via a little hole of nano-metric dimensions arranged in a constitutive biological membrane, is studied. We will present the case of the transport process of an ideal polymer in a 3-dimensional extended region separated by a fine boundary named membrane in a free energy barrier attendance. Additionally, the general translocation time formula, respectively, the transition time from the cis area to the trans area, is presented. The model for estimation of the likelihood, designated by (, ), as a macromolecular chain of lengthiness equal to , to be able to pass by the nanopore in escape period , was optimized. The longest-lasting likely escape time found with this model is indicated to be = 330 μs. Thus, the results obtained with the described formula are in good agreement with those announced in the specialized literature.
