Quartz Crystal Microbalance - Acoustic Wave Sensing Systems for Mass & Dissipation Measurements

BluQCM QSD: Small and Mighty

The BluQCM QSD is a single channel, compact and modular instrument. Its low footprint and lightweight makes it particularly suitable for crowded labs. It is available as standalone, with temperature control or/and flow control.

The BluQCM technology is based on the acoustic wave sensing principle which enables accurate detection of mass and structural changes on the sensor surface. The system can be coupled to a Bio-Logic potentiostat/galvanostat system to perform electrochemical QCM measurements. 

The platforms are versatile, allowing the use of different types of acoustic wave sensors, including up to 150 MHz High Fundamental Frequency (HFF) sensors and 5 MHz to 10 MHz sensors. The platforms also include high accuracy temperature and flow control for applications sensitive to temperature and requiring the renewal of liquid medium. The BluQCM products exist in single and multichannel versions: BluQSD for single channel and BluQMD for multichannel. Both instruments allow dissipation determination and measurements at multiple overtones for a comprehensive description of the rheological properties of the layer.
