QCM-D (Quartz Crystal Microbalance)

QCM-D (Quartz Crystal Microbalance)

Description
A quartz crystal microbalance with dissipation monitoring (QCM-D) is a type of quartz crystal microbalance (QCM) based on the ring-down technique. It is used in interfacial acoustic sensing. Its most common application is the determination of a film thickness in a liquid environment (e.g., adsorbed protein layer, SAMs). It can be used to investigate further properties of the sample, most notably the layer's softness.
