An Efficient Piezoelectric Analysis for Quartz Crystal Nanobalance Gas Sensor
This paper presents an efficient scheme to design the most used biosensor Quartz crystal nanobalance (QCN). The main characteristic of QCN is very mass sensitivity. It means a little variation of deposited mass on the surface of QCN and it will cause the change of thickness-shear-mode resonant frequency. An electro-mechanical coupled-field 3D finite element method is applied to analyze the reso...
متن کاملQuartz Crystal Nanobalance in Conjunction with Principal Component Analysis for Identification of Volatile Organic Compounds
Quartz crystal nanobalance (QCN) sensors are considered as powerful masssensitive sensors to determine materials in the sub-nanogram level. In this study, a single piezoelectric quartz crystal nanobalance modified with polystyrene was employed to detect benzene, toluene, ethylbenzene and xylene (BTEX compounds). The frequency shift of the QCN sensor was found to be linear against the BTEX compo...
متن کاملReal-time monitoring of Streptococcus mutans biofilm formation using a quartz crystal microbalance.
The ability of Streptococcus mutans, a well-known etiological agent in dental caries, to attach and form a biofilm is an important key to its virulence. The effects of various environmental factors (i.e. sucrose concentration, flow rate and temperature as well as genetic manipulations) on the capability of S. mutans (UA 140) to attach, form and detach were monitored in situ using quartz crystal...
متن کاملDetermination of linear short chain aliphatic aldehyde and ketone vapors in air using a polystyrene-coated quartz crystal nanobalance sensor.
A polystyrene coated quartz crystal nanobalance (QCN) sensor was developed for use in the determination of a number of linear short-chain aliphatic aldehyde and ketone vapors contained in air. The quartz crystal was modified by a thin-layer coating of a commercial grade general purpose polystyrene (GPPS) from Tabriz petrochemical company using a solution casting method. Determination was based ...
متن کاملQuartz Crystal Oscillator Classification by Dipolar Analysis
The dipolar method associated with a nonlinear time domain simulation program make up a powerful tool to analyze high Q-factor circuits like quartz crystal oscillators. After a brief remainder of the dipolar method, the paper will attempt to identify the main amplifier characteristics such as limitation mechanism, input and output impedances, etc. and to point out their influence on the amplifi...
