The development and optimization of cleaning formulations and protocols require detailed insights into the interactions between cleaning agents, soils, and surfaces. Traditional analysis methods and before-and-after assessments lack the capability to provide time-resolved information on the cleaning process. A limitation that complicates efforts to achieve optimal product performance.
Insights into the cleaning dynamics would help guide the development towards optimal product performance. QSense® QCM-D technology offers comprehensive analysis of cleaning processes, providing detailed information about soil wetting, removal rates, surface etching, and soil re-deposition. This facilitates a deeper understanding of the cleaning process and helps optimizing cleaning formulations and protocols in a resource-efficient manner
Real-time, nanoscale analysis of cleaning dynamics, including soil removal, wetting, and surface interactions, enables efficient optimization of formulations and protocols.
Detailed monitoring of surface etching and residuals ensures effective cleaning while minimizing surface damage and unwanted residues.
Time-resolved data streamlines workflows, reduces trial-and-error, and accelerates product development, saving time and resources while achieving superior cleaning performance.
