Q-Sense continues to expand world-wide and has now also received its first order from Hefei University of Science and Technology in main land China. The customer to use the patented QCM-D technology is located in Hefei near Shanghai and consists of a research group at the department of Polymer Science and Technology. They will work mainly with polymer interfaces including biopolymers. The university is part of one of China's twenty-seven centres for high-technology development. Goran Zelander, sales responsible at Q-Sense says "Good publications and our many reference customers are essential in the sales process, especially in regions where we do not yet have local presence. Japan, China incl. Hong-Kong, Singapore and South-Korea are promising markets where we expect a continous growth of sales". QCM-D Technology
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.

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.
