QCM-D Quartz Crystal Microbalance
QSense instruments - tracking changes at the surface - are based on the patented QCM-D technique. The instruments measure in real-time the mass of molecular layers that form on the quartz sensor. Simultaneously structural (viscoelastic) properties of such molecular layers are monitored, which enables distinction between two similar interactions or observation of a phase transition in bound layers.
QSense has developed a method to evaluate the effects of surfaces and interfaces on molecules ranging from small to complex. It helps to understand the risks of alteration of the concentration or ...
For the E-series instruments from QSense there are several modules to combine QCM-D with other techniques such as electrochemistry, ellipsometry and microscopy. Additionally 40 different sensor ...
