In QCM measurements, access to multiple harmonics is often needed. Here we explain when and why.
Read about how QCM-D and QCM-I compare, their working principles and suitable applications.
Read about how you can tell a QCM-D bulk shift from a response due to molecular adsorption.
Learn more about Quartz Crystal Microbalance with Dissipation monitoring technology, QCM-D, from a user perspective.
Read about why QCM-D bulk shifts arise and how you could plan your experiments to avoid, or account for them.
Read about the QCM mass sensitivity distribution, what it looks like and how it affects the quantification of the data.
Compared to QCM, QCM-D measures an additional parameter, and provides more information about the system under study.
In the context of QCM-based instrumentation, 'dissipation' or ‘damping’ are often mentioned. Read about what these concepts mean, and why are they relevant.
QCM-D and QCM-R both collect information about the energy loss. Read about how these thow methods compare.
