An electrochemical quartz crystal microbalance is described, which achieves a time resolution down to 100 μs. Accumulation and averaging over a few hours bring the noise down to about 30 mHz. The application examples are pH-driven viscosity changes in albumin solutions. The pH was switched with the electrode potential. The characteristic response time is in the millisecond range. The focus is on experimental aspects as well as advantages and limitations of the technique.
