Description
The ViSQCT sensor was developed in the Bioinstrumentation and Nanomedicine Laboratory to measure the viscosity of fluids using a small volume (approximately 50 µl). It works by using quartz crystal resonators (QCRs), which are inexpensive, small and accurate components. The QCRs used have gold electrodes and a fundamental resonance frequency of 10 MHz. The device consists of an electronic circuit, quartz crystal resonators, a crystal holder, batteries and control software.

Frequently asked question
Can I put my facility in the catalogue?
Yes, if you are from one of the EELISA member, you can log in and create a page for your facility. It will be then validated by a dedicated person at your institution and published. You can edit it at any time.

What happens when I am contacted?
The catalogue is meant to get in touch and start scientific discussion. There is no obligation to accept the collaboration.

Whom to contact if I would like to get more information about the catalogue ?
Each insitution has at least one contact :

I am from UPM, may I publish on the catalogue?
As UPM has its own local catalogue ( ), you first need to publish your facility on the UPM catalogue and then it will be transferred to the EELISA catalogue with no further action from your side.
