Introducing the new openQCM Q-1 Python Software
The new openQCM Q-1 Python Software: real-time monitoring of frequency and dissipation variations of a Quartz Crystal Microbalance through the analysis of the resonance curve
An exciting year
Hello, everyone. This 2018 has been a very exciting year. The openQCM project is growing beyond our expectations. We have launched 2 new devices and are working on the development of new scientific tools, which I hope will help the world of research in a completely new way. For this reason, we have temporary neglected […]
openQCM test of quartz crystal in contact with liquid
Here we report in detail the verification test of openQCM Quartz Crystal Microbalance in contact with pure water according to the theory based on Kanazawa – Gordon equation
openQCM verification test using Impedance and Network Analyzer
Researchers working at International University of Malaysia compared openQCM Quartz Crystal Microbalance with standard scientific instruments Network and Impedance Analyzer
Why the open source hardware will change the Science
A year has already gone by the launch of openQCM and there are many things to tell. When we have tried as private company, the way of the open source by launching one of the first scientific analytical instrument in the world completely open hardware, we would never have imagined this level of success. […]
openQCM community develops and shares the new electronic design using KiCAD
openQCM Quartz Crystal Microbalance electronic design is finally released using the free software KiCAD. Thanks to Martin Zalazar, Christian Mista and all the guys working at the Lab of electronic prototyping and 3D printing of the Universidad Nacional de Entre Ríos UNER – Argentina Great thanks for being an active part of the openQCM community […]
Sweet openQCM Tasting Water Sucrose Solutions
I’d like to share openQCM Quartz Crystal Microbalance frequency behaviour in contact with water solutions at different weight percent of sucrose.
openQCM frequency stability of quartz crystal microbalance in typical experimental conditions
We are now testing the performances of two different openQCM devices in the most typical experimental conditions in order to measure the frequency stability of the open source quartz crystal microbalance.
openQCM news and press review
The openQCM is really proud to share the latest reviews about the open source quartz crystal microbalance. This is also the opportunity to give thanks to people supporting the openQCM project.
openQCM the Temperature Sensor Using a Thermistor with Arduino
openQCM has a temperature sensor with high accuracy based on thermistor and Arduino. The Quartz Crystal Microbalance accuracy depends on temperature.
