Dr. Michael Rodal is a former employee at Biolin Scientific and a guest writer on the blog. Michael did his Ph.D. in engineering physics and is one of the inventors of the QCM-D technology as well as co-founder of Q-Sense AB. Having developed, and worked with, the technology since the ’90s, Michael is one of the world's leading QCM-D experts.
Read about why it is important for the mass distribution on the QCM sensor to be even, and what the consequences are if it is not.
Sensitivity vs Limit of detection (LOD) - read about how they compare and why one is more imoprtant than the other.
Here we will list 9 things that could affect the stability of your QCM-D baseline, and give advice on how to address them if you are experiencing drift.
