Title: Hybrid COMSOL model for QCM Bio-sensors

The COMSOL software has a module that simulates the bio-interaction behavior between enzymes and biomolecules without considering the transducer based on a QCM (Quartz Crystal Micro-Balance). On the other side, COMSOL has another module that simulates the characteristics of a quartz component. The objective of this work is to integrate the QCM Model with the COMSOL biosensor model, suggest a new hybrid model based on the two, and validate it by making a comparative study of the results obtained using this model and those obtained using the diffusion equations.
