QCM-I 3000 biosensor system

QCM 3000 – Biosensor System for Combined “Wet” and “Dry” Mass Measurements

MicroVacuum’s QCM 3000 Wet & Dry Mass measuring system includes two biosensor systems in one: An acoustic biosensor (Quartz Crystal Microbalance with Dissipation Monitoring) for “wet” mass measurement with an additional optical biosensor (OWLS) for “dry” mass measurement. There is also an option for synchronized electrochemical setup for the QCM 3000 system. For references, pricing […]

In situ viscoelastic properties and chain conformations of heavily hydrated carboxymethyl dextran layers

A comparative study using OWLS and QCM-I chips coated with waveguide material

We are very proud that both of our OWLS and QCM-I biosensor systems were used in the recent comparative study published on Nature.com See the abstract below and visit Nature.com to read the full publication. In situ viscoelastic properties and chain conformations of heavily hydrated carboxymethyl dextran layers: a comparative study using OWLS and QCM-I […]

Fibronectin terminated multilayer films: protein adsorption and cell attachment studies

Abstract Electrostatically driven layer-by-layer (LbL) assembly is a simple and robust method for producing structurally tailored thin film biomaterials, of thickness ca. 10nm, containing biofunctional ligands. We investigate the LbL formation of multilayer films composed of polymers of biological origin (poly(L-lysine) (PLL) and dextran sulfate (DS)), the adsorption of fibronectin (Fn)–a matrix protein known to […]
