Advanced Wave Sensors

Advanced Wave Sensors (AWSensors) is a Spanish high-technology company that designs, develops, and manufactures high-precision sensing instrumentation for molecular analysis. Founded in 2009 by researchers from the Polytechnic University of Valencia, the company specializes in Quartz Crystal Microbalance with Dissipation (QCMD) technology. By utilizing high-frequency acoustic resonators (50-150 MHz), their systems offer nanogram-level sensitivity, allowing for the real-time measurement of mass, thickness, and viscoelasticity in thin films. Their product lineup includes modular instruments like the X1 and multichannel systems such as the X4, alongside specialized flow control units and various sensor types used in research and industrial environments.

The company serves the scientific community by providing tools that enable breakthroughs in fields including life sciences, materials science, energy storage, and environmental monitoring. Their technology is used to track interface molecular phenomena such as adsorption, aggregation, and corrosion. Beyond providing hardware, AWSensors supports its global customer base with technical expertise, training, and customized scientific consulting to ensure researchers can optimize their experiments and leverage acoustic sensing capabilities for their specific application needs. Their work supports both fundamental academic research and pre-clinical applications, aiming to provide high-sensitivity solutions that are accessible and modular for different experimental budgets.
