Quartz crystal microbalances enable new microscale analytic technique
Published in Biotech Business Week, December 13th, 2010
2010 DEC 13 -- A new chemical analysis technique developed by a research group at the National Institute of Standards and Technology (NIST) uses the shifting ultrasonic pitch of a small quartz crystal to test the purity of only a few micrograms of material. Since it works with samples close to a thousand times smaller than comparable commercial instruments, the new technique should be an important addition to the growing arsenal of measurement tools for nanotechnology, according to the NIST team.
As the objects of scientific research have gotten smaller and smaller-as in nanotechnology and gene therapy-the people who worry about how to measure these things...
