Contact angles are routinely measured as they offer simple, yet extremely sensitive measurement method for surface characterization. Although, the static contact angle is an excellent tool, more in-depth understanding of the surface properties require dynamic contact angle measurements.
Compare QCM-D and QCM-I, including their working principles, how energy loss is measured, and which applications each approach suits
Dynamic contact angle measurements with the needle method has been automated for reliable and repeatable results.
Discover how QCM‑D reveals PFAS–surface interactions and guides sorbent design, fouling control and remediation across environmental applications.
Compare optical and force tensiometers by sample type and measurement needs to find the right instrument for your application.
Learn how QCM-D and contact angle measurements can help explain why some surfactants clean better than others in this webinar September 22
Compare 7 contact angle methods, including sessile drop, Wilhelmy plate, and Washburn, and find the one that suits your sample.
Learn why multiple harmonics and overtones matter in QCM-D measurements, when they are needed, and how they support data interpretation.
Force tensiometer prices can range from $5,000 to $50,000+. Learn what drives the cost and what to consider beyond the initial purchase price.
