Qcm Research

Description

QCM Research is a small select corporation, snuggled into the vineyards of the beautiful Temecula Valley of Southern California. We specialize in the design and manufacture of very high quality Quartz Crystal Microbalances, known as QCMs. Our instruments are used in high technology laboratories around the world and in space for applications such as detecting contamination on optical surfaces, measuring outgassing and determining constituents by means of thermogravimetric analysis. QCM Research has been in the forefront of QCM technology since being formed in 1985. The original personnel have been working with the technology involved since the mid-sixties. We have developed twenty-two distinct QCM sensor models and are presently marketing nine of these. We have International Representatives in seven foreign countries. In 1975 we were selected to receive an IR-100 award for "One of the 100 Most-Significant New Technical Products of the Year" for the MK8 QCM™, which has just recently evolved into theMK21 QCM™ . We have maintained a high standard of excellence even while experiencing a rapid growth period, insuring the continued health of the company and the continual improvement of the products we design and produce. Sensors -TQCMs are Thermally controlled QCMs. They have an internal Peltier heat exchanger which can either heat or cool the QCM to aid in both collecting condensables and then boiling them off later. -The Mark 20 TQCM™ is a miniaturized version of the standard TQCM in the industry, the Mark 10 TQCM. -The Mark 21 Miniature QCM™ is a very small, passive QCM. -The Vacuum Outgassing/Deposition Kinetics Apparatus (VODKA™) is a turn-key test chamber for performing standardized ASTM E1559 testing. Controllers -Flight Controllers include the FEU (Flight Electronics Unit) and the newest unit, the Model 3000 QCM Sensor System.
