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.
Read about how and why the QCM fundamental frequency matters in measurements
Learn how to assess a QCM-specification and how to compare performance and data quality between different instruments
The fundamental resonance frequency of QCM-sensors is often 5MHz. Learn about the theory behind the number.
