Qsense – Modules
The Q-Sense Electrochemistry Module, QEM 401, enables simultaneous Quartz Crystal Microbalance with Dissipation Monitoring and Electrochemical measurements (EQCM-D) or QCM-D and Electrochemical Impedance Spectroscopy (EIS) measurements.
The Q-Sense Ellipsometry Module enables simultaneous QCM-D and ellipsometry measurements on the same substrate.
This standard Q-Sense flow module is included with the Q-Sense Explorer (previously Q-Sense E1) and Q-Sense Analyzer (previously Q-Sense E4) instruments.
The Q-Sense Humidity module is designed to enable measurements of vapor uptake and release from thin films coated on the sensor.
The Q-Sense Open Module is designed to enable direct access to the sensor surface required by some applications, e.g., pipetting of sample directly onto the sensor surface. The Open Module is also useful for quick adsorption tests or other experiments when flow conditions are not required.
The Q-Sense Window Module allows optical access to the sensor surface through a sapphire window.
The Q-Sense High Temperature Chamber is an additional chamber that enables the QCM-D technology to be performed at an extended temperature range of 4-150 °C*.
The Q-Sense ALD (Atomic Layer Deposition) Holder is designed to enable QCM-D measurements in vacuum or gas phase.
The PTFE Flow module is suitable for flow or stagnant measurements where the reagents or molecules are sensitive to interactions with titanium. The PTFE Flow module is similar to the Q-Sense Flow module QFM 401 but the titanium flow part is here exchanged for PTFE (Teflon®-like).
