Traditional cleaning analysis methods often lack time-resolved and mechanistic information which can impede the development of effective cleaning formulations and protocols. QSense® QCM-D (Quartz Crystal Microbalance with Dissipation monitoring) technology provides unique real-time data on interactions between cleaning agents, target soils, and surfaces, facilitating optimized product design and development.

Surfactants stabilize air-liquid and liquid-liquid interfaces. The stability of these interfaces is meaningful in coatings and other formulations. Stability can be evaluated by studying the viscoelasticity of the interface through interfacial rheology measurements. 

Surfactants are key components in many products and processes, where performance often depends on how they interact with surfaces over time. QCM-D enables time-resolved analysis of these interactions at the nanoscale, helping you build fundamental understanding and apply those insights throughout product development and optimization.

The stability and performance of complex formulations can be influenced by how biologics, excipients and other components adsorb to material surfaces. QSense QCM-D helps you analyze these surface interactions in real time at the nanoscale, supporting material selection, compatibility assessment and formulation optimization.

Polymer-based systems are used across many applications to tailor interfacial properties and promote functions such as biocompatibility, antifouling performance and drug delivery. QCM-D analysis enables real-time monitoring of polymer–surface interactions, layer build-up and transitions between hydrated and dehydrated states, helping you understand and optimize polymer behavior at interfaces.

CMP performance depends on how slurry additives and abrasive particles interact with surfaces at the nanoscale. QSense® QCM-D enables real-time analysis of these interactions and residue removal, helping you optimize slurry chemistry and surface cleanliness.
