The QCM-D is used to study molecular interactions and surface science.
Based on a vibrating quartz crystal sensor (an acoustic resonator). Measurements are made based on changes in vibration frequency in response to reactions that occur on the sensor surface. The measurements provide answers about mass and structural changes at the nanoscale level.
Specifications/Capabilities
Measurement Cells available: Flow, static, window, electrochemistry and humidity.
Applications
Common applications include measurements on proteins, polymers, surfactants and cells onto surfaces in liquid.
