Patent ID: 10724934

Abstract:
Method for validating a resonator. The method comprises: providing a first set of resonator responses of the resonator pertaining to a first validation fluid, contacting the resonator and a second validation fluid, wherein the first and the second validation fluids have different viscoelastic properties, obtaining in contact with the second validation fluid a second set of resonator responses of the resonator, wherein each resonator response pertains to a resonance frequency or a dissipation of the resonator, validating the resonator by comparing a first and a second value, the first value being obtained from at least one resonator response of the first set of resonator responses and at least one resonator response from the second set of resonator responses, the second value being based on a relationship between frequency or dissipation responses of the resonator and a function of the viscoelastic properties of the first and the second validation fluid.
