2023 NanoNews: QCM-D Edition Q4

In the December 2023 Edition of our QCM-D newsletter, we celebrate the first installation of a QSense Omni in the United States and highlight a variety of resources including webinars, white papers, and recent publications. You can also follow us on LinkedIn for the latest updates on QCM-D applications, events, and more!

CUSTOMER SHOWCASE

Lawrence Livermore National Laboratory:

1st QSense Omni Installed in the United States

The new QSense Omni QCM-D provides unparalleled sensitivity for measuring molecular interactions at the nanoscale, enabling Dr. Francesco Fornasiero’s group at Lawrence Livermore National Lab to perform real-time, in situ quantification of ion intercalation into various materials, including polymers.

Their new 4-channel QCM-D will also support the development of next-generation breathable fabrics for a multi-institutional project sponsored by several government agencies.

Discover the NEW QSense Omni

Sandia National Laboratories:

Expanding QCM-D Capabilities with High-Throughput Automation

Dr. Vitalie Stavila has been a dedicated QSense user for over 10 years, leveraging a QSense Analyzer to investigate metal organic framework (MOF) molecular interactions.

His group at Sandia National Laboratoties recently upgraded to the QSense Pro, a fully-automated QCM-D engineered for high-throughput experiments.
