Researchers working at International University of Malaysia compared openQCM Quartz Crystal Microbalance with standard scientific instruments Network and Impedance Analyzer
Quartz Crystal Microbalance openQCM: our first test
![](https://openqcm.com/wp-content/uploads/2014/12/Quartz-Crystal-Microbalance-openQCM-Water-Test-1-1024x616.png)
As already mentioned, we have just completed the design and the electronic optimization of the Quartz Crystal Microbalance openQCM. At the moment we already have 2 working devices. So, we are very glad to show the first test in liquid environment. In order to demonstrate the real behavior of the system we have preferred to make a video. In […]
