QCMD

By BioNavis Ltd

QCMD provides powerful tools for studying biomaterial interactions at the molecular level, offering insights that can inform the design and development of new biomaterials for biomedical applications. QCMD provides quantitative data on biomaterial properties, such as mass changes, viscoelastic properties, and binding affinities. This quantitative analysis enables researchers to characterize biomaterials more precisely and compare different materials or experimental conditions (including concentration, temperature, solvent, and pH) quantitatively. Benefits of QCMD in soft materials research are - Measurements possible in wet and dry environment - Measurements possible at different pH, temperature, electric potential - Layer thickness measured - On-line monitoring of Layer-by-Layer depositions - Layer viscoelasticity measured - Combination of QCMD with electrochemistry - Measurement is refractive index independent - Sensor slides can be modified / coated in situ or ex situ How does QCMD help optimize the surface properties of biomaterials? QCMD measures adsorption, hydration, and mechanical properties of biomaterial surfaces. This data is essential for fine-tuning biomaterials to achieve desired functionality. Can QCMD measure degradation of biomaterials over time? Yes, QCMD tracks real-time mass loss and dissipation changes as biomaterials degrade under various conditions. This provides insights into their stability and suitability for long-term applications. Is QCMD suitable for studying protein adsorption on biomaterials? Yes, QCMD quantifies protein adsorption on biomaterial surfaces. It also detects conformational changes, providing a comprehensive view of protein-material interactions. See beyond the surface.
