What Does TQCM Stand For?

TQCM stands for Temperature Controlled Quartz Crystal Microbalance

TQCM, or Temperature Controlled Quartz Crystal Microbalance, is a precise analytical instrument used to measure mass changes at the nanogram level. It operates by monitoring the frequency shifts of a quartz crystal oscillator as mass is added or removed from its surface, enabling highly accurate assessments of thin films and adsorbed layers. The temperature control aspect allows for experiments under varying thermal conditions, making TQCM ideal for studying temperature-dependent processes in various scientific fields, including materials science, chemistry, and biology.
