The auto series is the latest upgrade of our QCM-D instruments allowing fully automated liquid handling with or without incubation feature. The automatization enables excellent stability and reproducibility for long term unattended measurements and makes it easy to design your experiments. Perform and supervise your experiments even from distance by using the simple scripting and remote control function available in qGraph software.

The new qCell T Q2 is a dual channel quartz crystal microbalance with dissipation/damping monitoring. Outperforming its predecessor, the QCM-D device qCell T, the second channel permits simultaneous measurement and control. The flow cells enables parallel synchronized flow operations and profiles. The software qGraph qCell T Q2 manages  thermo and automatic fluidic control, sensor data collecting and processing. Alterations in mass adsorptions, layer thickness and sample viscosity are obtained with high accuracy, controlled against blank, in a time resolved manner.

The qCell T is a highly advanced quartz crystal microbalance with damping/dissipation monitoring for gaining real time insights into molecular interactions, biofilms, liquid properties and even the analysis of blood.The QCM-D device qCell T offers unmatched stability, unique operational ease and accuracy in real-time measurements.

qCell T eChem is the electrochemical version of the QCM-D instrument qCell T. The sensor platform is specifically adapted to combine the full range of electrochemical experiments with the specific insight of quartz crystal microbalance sensors. A potentiostat or galvanostat from Metrohm can be operated independently through its Nova™ control software, while qGraph qCell T software acquires sensor data, thermo control and fluidic data.

qCell T series offers fully automated fluid control with high accuracy and repeatability. Flow rate can be precisely adjusted from 9 µl/min to 5600 µl/min.

Fully automated temperature control ranging from +4 °C to +80 °C powered by self-developped Peltier system of closed water loop.

With only 30 µl internal volume, the flow cell is designed for easy access, fast sensor replacement and to maintain a good seal in its closed working condition. All surfaces in contact with liquid samples are made of high chemical resistant materials, e.g. Teflon.

The easy control button (ECB) is the one button solution for qCell T series. It combines simplicity and ease-of-use.

The qCell μOpto is the latest innovation to our QCM-D instruments. It is designed for combining 3T’s advanced QCM-D technology with up to 600X simultaneous microscopic observation of the sensor surface. Combining QCM-D with real time microscopy allows the user to evaluate frequency and damping with respect to sample surface coverage and morphology. Use this combination to analyze the sample surface coverage and get further insights to the sample’s mechanical properties and surface coupling. Applications include, but are not limited to, colloid attachment, bacterial adhesion, biofilm formation and cell adhesion and spreading.

qCell is the entry level sensor platform for the full range of QCM-D experiments. In comparison to the full-fledged sensor system qCell T, qCell has no Peltier system for thermal control and no automatic pump control. The software qGraph manages sensor data collecting and processing. Alterations in mass adsorptions, layer thickness and sample viscosity are obtained with high accuracy, controlled against blank, in a time resolved manner.
