| Q-Sense AB, developing and selling a sensor technology for non-rigid surfaces, has signed a distributor agreement with Meiwa Shoji Ltd, Osaka, Japan. |
Q-Sense AB, developing and selling a sensor technology for non-rigid surfaces, has signed a distributor agreement with Meiwa Shoji Ltd, Osaka, Japan. The agreement means that Meiwa handles sales & marketing of Q-Sense' products in Japan. Q-Sense has developed an analytical instrument with associated sensors to scientists conducting research within physics, chemistry, biology and medicine. Through an international network consisting of researchers from among others Harvard, Stanford, Max Planck Institute and ETH Zürich the technology has spread globally and is found among customers in about 15 countries. The technology was originally developed at Chalmers University of Technology in Göteborg, Sweden and the company was founded in 1996 based on the QCM-D technique. Till 1999 focus was on technology and product development and early year 2000 the company entered a more commercial phase. Ever since Q-Sense has successfully sold instruments and sensors to researchers worldwide.

About: Q-Sense AB
Q-Sense is the leading specialist in QCM-D technology, and was the first company set up specifically to develop the technique. It was founded in 1996 by researchers at Chalmers University of Technology in Gothenburg, Sweden and the company continues to work closely with researchers at leading universities throughout the world to ensure that QCM-D is at the forefront of developments. Early year 2000, the company entered a more commercial phase and has since then, successfully sold research instruments to academic and industrial scientists worldwide. Today, the company has a world-wide distributor network, instruments used in more than 20 countries and a subsidiary in the US. It is part of Biolin AB, a group which supports the development of innovation in science. The QCM-D technique determines the mass of very thin surface bound layers and simultaneously gives information about their viscoelastic properties. This offers new opportunities to study conformational changes in layers formed on different surface materials, for example biomaterials. The unique properties of QCM-D make it an invaluable tool for studying macromolecules at surfaces and an important complement to existing technologies. Applications include biofouling, biomaterials, drug development and surfactants. |
