CUSTOMER SHOWCASE

Lawrence Berkeley National Laboratory

Exciting growth in our partnership with Lawrence Berkeley National Laboratory! Dr. Matthew Dixon and Dr. Vincent Ovalle had the privilege of installing another QSense Quartz Crystal Microbalance with Dissipation monitoring (QCM-D) instrument at Lawrence Berkeley National Lab. This time, in Dr. Heloisa Nunes Bordallo’s lab!

Dr. Bordallo is currently a visiting faculty member at Lawrence Berkeley National Lab, carrying a joint appointment with the University of Copenhagen. Her lab at LBNL will utilize QCM-D to develop more effective food coatings that help decrease food waste.

University of New Hampshire

The addition of the QSense Omni allows the group to quantify the performance of their novel biosensors in real-time, helping them advance knowledge around surface modifications that improve binding of their biomolecules of interest. Leveraging the nanogram sensitivity of QSense Omni, Dr. Halpern and other scientists in his lab are working to enhance the sensitivity and selectivity of their biosensors for faster, more accurate diagnosis of many common diseases.

University of Southern California

Dr. Paco Villalobos and his growing team of researchers at the University of Southern California are making waves in membrane research for water filtration applications! The Villalobos Lab focuses on developing energy-efficient membranes and unravelling the intricate molecular transport mechanisms within them.

With their new QSense Omni Quartz Crystal Microbalance with Dissipation monitoring (QCM-D) system, the group can quantify changes in their membranes in real-time, advancing understanding of selective transport to develop novel membrane technologies for the sustainable production of critical materials and energy.
