| Résumé: | Quartz crystal microbalance with dissipation monitoring (QCM-D) has developed into a recognized method to study adsorption processes in liquid, such as the formation of supported lipid bilayers and protein adsorption. However, the large intrinsic roughness of currently used gold-coated or silica-coated QCM-D sensors limits parallel structural characterization by atomic force microscopy (AFM). We present a method for coating QCM-D sensors with thin mica sheets operating in liquid with high stability and sensitivity. We define criteria to objectively assess the reliability of the QCM-D measurements and demonstrate that the mica-coated sensors can be used to follow the formation of supported lipid membranes and subsequent protein adsorption. This method allows combining QCM-D and AFM investigations on identical supports, providing detailed physicochemical and structural characterization of model membranes |
