Abstract
QCM-D is a surface-sensitive technique for real-time monitoring of biolayers on surfaces with regard to adsorption and desorption, molecular interactions and structural properties. To date, this old-established technique is employed for studies of cellular processes, both, in nanotechnology and cell biology. Interactions among molecules, cells or between cells and the environment are observable in their natural unaltered states. QCM-D thus provides a unique insight into the complex world of biology.
