Applications
|
The Quartz Crystal Microbalance provides mass and structural information on molecular layers that form on the surface of a sensor. Molecular adsorption and interactions can be monitored in real time under a variety of conditions. Sensors can be chemically modified to produce a range of surfaces for study.
QCM can be used in a range of applications, for example to investigate the hydration of polymer films, monitor protein interactions with a variety of surfaces, or study the effectiveness of surfactants in removing lipid films. |
