and biologically functionalized piezoelectric sensors are attractive alternatives to surfacesensitive transducers due to their surpassing versatility.
The fourth volume of the Springer Series on Chemical Sensors and Biosensors includes a comprehensive theoretical treatment and current stateofthe art applications of the quartz
crystal microbalance QCM.
Interface circuits and the study of viscoelasticity and micromechanics as well as surface roughness with the QCM are discussed.
The broad field of analytical applications of piezoelectric sensors is covered, which ranges from nucleic acid detection, immunosensors, proteinmembrane interactions and monitoring cells by imprinted polymers to the viscoelastic response of living mammalian cells on QCMresonators.
Sophisticated derivatives of the classical QCM, such as rupture event scanning, the use of extraordinary high frequency crystals, and electrochemical QCM, clearly reveal the advantages of combining multiple techniques to realize new detection schemes on the basis of piezoelectric resonators.
