Lipids

With QCM-D, the formation of supported lipid membranes can be routinely followed and their quality verified, thanks to the D-factor. The interaction of membrane binding proteins, DNA, peptides or polymers with lipid membranes can be monitored in real-time.

Application areas within this field are listed below followed by relevant Application notes.

Lipid bilayer evaluation: Lipid bilayer formation, QCM-D and EIS on lipid bilayers
Functionalization of lipid bilayers: Specificity of DNA hybridization, Protein interaction
Degradation of lipid films: Enzymatic degradation of lipid films

We offer a wide range of sensors with coatings suitable for different applications.

QCM-D can be combined with several other techniques to get simultaneous and complementary measurement data. Special modules are available for electrochemistry, microscopy or ellipsometry to mention some examples.
