Anomalous behaviour of the quartz crystal microbalance in the presence of electrolytes

Quartz crystal microbalance (QCM) impedance analysis was used as a microgravimetric tool for thiol adsorptions in a flow injection system. The presence of electrolyte was found to interfere with the proper measurement of the deposited mass and resulted in an error of more than 70%. Aqueous solutions...
