The Q-Sense E4 QCM with dissipation is a real-time analytical instrument for studies of molecular events occurring on surfaces. The E4 measures mass and viscoelastic properties of molecular layers as they build up or change on the sensor surface. Areas of interest include materials, protein and surfactant research.

  • 4 flow modules for parallel measurements
  • 1 open module
  • 15-65 degrees C, controlled via the QSoft401 software with a stability of +_ 0.02K
  • 1-70 MHz Frequency Range
  • Maximum Time Resolution of 200 data points per second
  • Maximum Mass Sensitivity in liquid -0.5 ng/cm2 (5pg/mm2)
  • Maximum Dissipation Sensitivity in liquid -0.04 x 10 -8
