Products with full names are quartz crystal microbalance components (QCM - Quatz Crystal Microbalance), invested by Ho Chi Minh City Department of Science and Technology and ICDREC (Circuit Design Research and Training Center). National University of Ho Chi Minh City in conjunction with the HCM City Hi-tech Research and Development Center implements design and production.

Micro-balance quartz crystal components.

Quartz crystal microbalance components are capable of measuring very small mass distribution (nanogram size) per unit of electrode area by measuring the frequency change of the quartz resonator oscillator.

Bio-chip integrated kit for detecting cholera bacteria.

Therefore, QCM is used to manufacture gas sensors, mass sensors to check thin film thickness, biomedical sensors . Currently, ICDREC has integrated quartz crystal weighing components into Kit products to deliver bacteria E.Coli O157-H7.

This Kit has the ability to detect cholera quickly, in accordance with the conditions of working in remote areas. Compared to conventional testing methods that take up to 24 hours, QCM Kit only takes 1 hour to produce results with simple operations and can be used multiple times.

In addition, ICDREC is cooperating with health authorities to put QCM components into products for rapid testing of users who use drugs. Ho Chi Minh City Department of Science and Technology has also transferred ownership of 6 semiconductor IP cores (worth nearly 10 billion VND) to ICDREC so that this unit can sell on international exchanges.
