QCM-D as Bio-Analytical Platform - Brochure

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.
