QSense Analyzer
Real-time measurement of interactions between surface immobilised materials, molecules or cells with ng/cm2 resolution
Description
QSense Analyzer (Quartz crystal microbalance with dissipation monitoring) uses acoustic and gravimetric techniques that allow label-free, real-time measurement of interactions between surface immobilised materials, molecules or cells with ng/cm2 resolution. The QSense Analyzer system has four channels allowing multiplexing of experiments for high throughput.
