Product Overview
openQCM NEXT the Quartz Crystal Microbalance with dissipation monitoring, simultaneous multiple - overtones measurement and active thermal control. A more advanced device with better measurement quality at very affordable price.
openQCM NEXT is the newly developed Quartz Crystal Microbalance, a real-time analytical instrument based on a surface sensitive technology featuring advanced capabilities. The device is capable of frequency and dissipation monitoring on multiple overtones at the same time. In addtion, the openQCM Next features an active temperature control, based on an integrated Peltier module. These new characteristics make the new device measurements more reliable and accurate.
The device is completely re-engineered in terms of design and materials, ensuring chemical compatibility and thermal efficiency. The fluidic module is the real core of openQCM NEXT, the real holder of the quartz sensors, made to be a multi-purpose accessory.
