Over 500 published articles citing the use of QCM-D

Friday, May 29, 2009

The number of published articles citing the use of Q-Sense unique and patented analysis method Quarts Crystal Microbalance with Dissipation, QCM-D, continues to steadily increase. The number has now reached above 500 published articles.
Equally, the width of journals and academic application fields is growing.

Q-Sense instruments enable simultaneous analysis of mass and viscoelastic properties of molecular interactions on different surfaces. Our instruments are used in many different types of R&D laboratories, and a typical application is protein adsorption to biomaterials. This could for example be investigation of how ordinary tear fluid interacts with and changes the surfaces of a contact lens. Here a QCM-D analysis could for instance tell you how proteins bind to, couple water or in any other way interact with the polymeric lens surface.
