Overview

QSense® Flow module offers high flexibility and is the primary choice for any application measuring QCM-D alone. The module can be used by continuous flow, stopped flow, and even in gas phase flow as long as there is no overpressure. It is used for measurements within the full range of QCM-D applications. The design of the Flow module results in a homogenous flow profile that ensures even sample exposure, good thermal stability and lowers risk of trapping air bubbles.

The standard configuration is designed for aqueous experiments, while optional high resistance sealing gaskets in Kalrez adds compatibility with harsh chemicals.
