QSense Explorer

QSense instruments track changes in frequency and dissipation when molecules bind and interact on the oscillating QCM-D sensor, in real-time. From this information it is possible to quantify mass, thickness, viscosity and shear modulus of the adhering layer.

QSense QCM-D (quartz crystal microbalance with dissipation) systems facilitate real-time monitoring of molecular interactions and structural changes at nanoscale levels on surfaces and interfaces. Utilizing advanced Ring-down technology, which surpasses other QCM systems, the QSense line offers the fastest data acquisition rate available (up to 300 datapoints per second) and exceptional mass sensitivity (0.5 ng/cm², equivalent to sub monolayer detection). This technique’s versatility allows for extensive exploration and experimentation, making it well-suited for addressing research inquiries across diverse fields including biology, pharmaceuticals, nanotechnology, polymer chemistry, electrochemistry, and food science.
