“…Other areas where QCM was used to detect alcohols, esters and terpenes are in the continuous surveillance of composting processes (Lieberzeit et al , 2008), volatile organic compounds in gas mixtures (Si et al , 2007) (Filippov et al , 2007), alcohols (Melegari et al , 2008) (Koshets et al , 2009), nonylphenol (Nabok et al ., 2007a), chloramphenicol (Adányi et al , 2006), T‐2 mycotoxin (Nabok et al ., 2007b), and paclitaxel (taxol), a natural anti‐cancer agent providing a promising alternative to classical analytical methods for a fast and easy determination of paclitaxel (Pastorino et al , 2006). QCM was also used to study the host–guest interaction between N,N‐dimethylformamide or cholic acid and a cyclodextrin derivative (Schofield et al , 2006), between heptaprenyl diphosphate synthase and the substrate farnesyl diphosphate (Suzuki et al , 2006), and to determine drug binding to human serum albumin in a competition binding assay with bilirubin using flow injection analysis (Zhang et al , 2008a). A QCM for low humidity detection was developed based on poly(l‐lactide) stabilized gold nanoparticles (Sun et al , 2007) and a hybrid humidity sensor was assembled using optical waveguides on a quartz crystal microbalance (Shinbo et al , 2009).…”
