GC-15 Glass Cell Well-suited for QCM experiments

RQCM is a highly advanced method of measuring film properties during processes such as deposition, dissolution or permeation. Up to three crystals can be measured simultaneously with <0.4 ng/cm 2 mass resolution. All data is logged and graphically displayed using integrated Windows-based software in real time.
