QCM context
Quartz Crystal Microbalance measurements are sensitive to mass changes at the sensor surface.
Technical overview
In QCM workflows, the stability and reproducibility of the antibody layer can influence frequency response, noise and repeatability.
Functionalization role
A stable antibody layer helps create a clearer interface for target recognition.
ImmunoLyte positioning
ImmunoLyte supports QCM functionalization and related biosensor workflows.
