Here we explain how Quartz Crystal Microbalance with Dissipation monitoring, QCM-D, works.
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.
Here we explain the reasoning behind the uniformity requirement and describe the consequences if it is not fulfilled.
Get on top of the key facts and fundamentals of the lipid bilayer formation process with our selected list of 8 publications.
Here we present a summary of how protein adsorption to a silicone oil/water interface was analyzed in the presence and absence of surfactant.
Surfactants are key components in many products and processes where the surfactant-surface interaction dynamic could be critical. Here we show how the surfactant interaction with surfaces can be analyzed in a time-resolved manner at the nanoscale.
At first glance, SPR and QCM-D are quite similar. Here we sort out the key differences between them and list examples of when to use which method
To avoid potential adverse effects, it is relevant to study how nanoparticles interact with their surroundings. Here we present examples of how nanoparticle interaction with a variety of surfaces can be analyzed.
The quartz crystal microbalance, QCM, has been around since the 60’ where it has been used for monitoring of thin-film deposition and characterization of thin films. So how does this technology work?
