The Biolin Qsense Explorer Quartz Crystal Microbalance and Dissipation Monitoring System is a surface-sensitive technique that is commonly used in materials research. This system uses a quartz crystal microbalance (QCM) to measure changes in mass and viscoelastic properties of materials at the surface. This allows for the study of a wide range of phenomena, including adsorption, desorption, interfacial interactions, and reaction kinetics.
QCM is used for analyzing surface-interactions (adsorbtion or desorbtion of molecules), thin film formation in real time.
It measures the mass changes on the surface of the sensor with nanoscale resolution by using piezoeelctric quartz crystal.
QCM-D measures changes in energy loss.
