The fluidic module is the real core of openQCM NEXT. Composed of two metal parts: the lower part, made of electropolished aluminium will be in direct contact with the Peltier element, and the upper part, composed of Nickel electroplated stainless steel (or PTFE where the samples are particularly sensitive to interactions with metals). All other materials are specifically selected in order to have the widest range of chemical compatibility with your samples. The fluidic circuit is directly engraved inside the top cover of the module, in order to enhance thermalisation of the incoming fluid. Furthermore we inserted a silica glass window for visual or spectroscopic inspection. If you need for specific spectral bandwidth, silica window, can be easily removed, in order to be replaced with your own optical window. Furthermore the fluidic module is designed as a plug-ad-play accessory that can be easily unplugged for treatments “out of the device” (eg: ultrasonic bath, thermal baking etc.)
