QCM Flow Cell Kit
Also available EQCM flow cell kit
The Resonance frequency of quartz changes when material attaches
to the electrode's surface.
This product is capable of super-micro quantitative analysis by
using this unique behavior.
solution: PBS with 2 mM Dithiodipropionic acid
a: stationary state
Flow rate:
b:85,
c:110,
d:140,
e:160,
f:190 µl/min
Baseline is stable enough as shown in figure.
Above figure shows result of change in frequency with time by adding
:
avidin (2 mg/ml), ethanolamine (5 mM),
BSA in PBS (1%),
Biotin-Allo A lectin (0.05 mg/ml, in 1% BSA),
galactose-carrying polymer (1 mg/ml, in 1% BSA),
PBS
Quartz Crystal
Thickness of 10 MHz quartz is 0.16 mm. Accelerating the
oscillation frequency means to make the quartz thinner and delicate.
Resolution and easiness to care for should be taken into the
consideration. We can offer two surface conditions of quartz -
Polished and Unpolished. Polished one has a 100 Å thickness of gold
layer on a titanium adhesive layer. We would recommend the
unpolished quartz if there is a possibility that the titanium layer
might effect on your experiment. We would like you to note that the
gold layer on the unpolished quartz peels off easier than the
polished one because it does not have adhesive layer.

This cell even can be used in two ways, with
the choose of PEEK Cell or Acrylic Flow Cell.
- Acrylic Flow Cell, for QCM Flow Mode
- PEEK Cell, for EQCM Mode
QCM Flow Mode
Using physical absorption such as antigen-antibody reaction on a
solid surface
EQCM Mode
Using electrochemical absorption
