Open module

The open module is an optional module compatible with both the Q-Sense E1 and Q-Sense E4 systems. It is designed to enable direct access to the sensor surface required by some applications, e.g., pipetting of sample directly onto the sensor surface. 

One application example is the measurement of bulk viscocity which can be calculated directly in Q-Sense analysis software by looking at the frequency and dissipation responses while going from air to liquid. 

The open module comes with a lid to avoid evaporation of samples and to improve measurement stability.

• Sample volume typical range is 10-50 µl 
• Compatible with all Q-Sense 14-mm sensors 
• Materials exposed to liquid are Teflon® and Viton® (O-ring)

Specifications of the Open module can be found in the PDF on your right.
