Key Features
- Reduced lab bench footprint
Free up valuable space with a compact QCM‑D system that fits easily into busy labs. - Superior temperature and measurement stability
Safeguards against artifacts and unwanted varientions. - Measurement of 7 harmonics
Provides maximal information and allows for quantification of soft layers through full viscoelastic modelling. - Optimized QCM-D sensitivity
QSense is designed around industry‑standard 5 MHz QCM‑D sensors, combining low noise and drift with an improved signal‑to‑noise performance. This broadens the usable sensitivity range in liquids and enhances the limit of detection, even for viscoelastic films. - QSense decay technology
Optimized time resolution and data quality to catch the smallest and fastest events and processes, in rigid as well as in soft films. - Flexible, adaptive sampling
Choose your exact data interval and adjust it during the measurement to match the process you are studying – from fast events to long measurement with slow kinetics. - Smart pre‑run quality checks
Built‑in checks verify key conditions like found resonances and stability before you start, helping you catch common issues early and secure high‑quality data from the first run. - Synchronized integration with 3rd party instruments
Input/output ports and triggering functionality make it easy to integrate QSense Core One with external equipment, such as potentiostats or microscopes. - Flow module with homogenous flow profile
Ensures even sample exposure, good thermal stability and lowers risk of trapping air bubbles.
