QCM-D Best practices #1: Experimental design/how to produce quality data

This webinar provides a comprehensive guide on best practices for QCM-D (Quartz Crystal Microbalance with Dissipation) experimental design, focusing on how to generate high-quality, reproducible data. The session covers critical factors such as avoiding contamination, temperature and sample variation, baseline stability, air bubble prevention, and bulk shift control. Additionally, it illustrates the application of these principles in biopharmaceutical studies, particularly with monoclonal antibodies and their interactions with various material surfaces, and discusses how surfactants can mitigate unwanted surface binding. You will get some useful tips and tricks on how to design your QCM-D experiments and how to collect quality data.

Presentation by Dr. Erik Nilebäck & Yousra Ben Salah

Dr. Erik Nilebäck, senior application scientist at Biolin Scientific, and Yousra Ben Salah, application scientifist, who share practical insights and examples drawn from their own research in biopharmaceutical surface interactions. They go through both general QCM-D best practices and the detailed experimental logic behind a recent study demonstrating their expertise in experimental design and applied surface science.
