Abstract
A combination of the two transducer principles QCM and electrochemical impedance spectroscopy (EIS) was applied in the past for in situ monitoring and analyzing solution properties (Xie et al. in Analytica Chimica Acta 533:213–224, [1]), degradation of thin polymer films (Sabot and Krause in Anal Chem 74:3304–3311, [2]), formation of supported lipid bilayers (Briand et al. in Analyst 135:343–350, [3]), and adsorption processes of proteins on bare (He et al. in J Biochem Biophys Methods 62:191–205, [4]), polymer-coated (Xie et al. in J Electroanal Chem 478:1–8, [5]), and with platinum (Xie et al.in J Colloid Interface Sci 262:107–115, [6]) or copper (Pinto et al. Electrochimica Acta 53:7460–7466, [7]) electroplated QCM gold electrodes.
