High-Quality QCM-D Data

QSense Core One measures frequency and dissipation across seven harmonics. Low-noise electronics, advanced signal processing and QSense measurement technology improve signal-to-noise performance and help resolve small surface changes, low-mass adsorption and slow processes. The full harmonic range also provides high-quality data for viscoelastic modeling of soft films.

Flexible sampling allows the measurement interval to be selected and adjusted during an experiment, making it possible to capture fast events while reducing unnecessary data during periods of slow or stable behavior.

QSoft Acquisition Software

QSoft supports experiment setup, quality control and live monitoring in one acquisition workflow. Before acquisition starts, the software checks resonance, temperature and baseline stability across all seven harmonics. Automatic resonance tracking and continuous signal-quality monitoring help identify unstable conditions before valuable sample and measurement time are used.

During the experiment, frequency and dissipation are recorded in real time. Acquisition intervals can be adjusted while the measurement is running to match different stages of the experiment.

Dfind Analysis Software

QSense Dfind supports the workflow from raw QCM-D data to analysis and reporting. Batch mode allows multiple data sets to be processed together, while reusable templates simplify repeated analysis procedures. Dfind also supports modeling of QCM-D data to determine parameters such as thickness or mass, viscosity and shear modulus.

Integration With Third-Party Instruments

Core One can be connected to external analytical instruments through its I/O ports. A trigger function establishes a common time-zero, allowing QCM-D data to be synchronized with data from other systems and simplifying combined measurements and subsequent analysis.

This enables experimental combinations with techniques such as electrochemistry and microscopy and supports research in areas including batteries, electrolyzers, fuel cells and biosensors.

Flexible Measurement Chamber and Modular Configurations

The separate measurement chamber can be integrated into external experimental setups while the electronics unit and computer remain accessible outside the measurement environment.

Interchangeable modules extend Core One for electrochemistry, microscopy, ellipsometry, humidity studies and other specialized setups. Additional configurations support gas-phase, high-temperature and high-pressure measurements. Some measurement conditions require add-on modules or customization.
