Despite advancements in analytical technologies, their complexity and cost have largely restricted their application in scalable online or multiplexed measurements. Here we report a quartz crystal resonator (QCR)-based method for detection of macromolecules that allows immensely simpler and faster measurements by employing for the first time a fixed frequency drive (FFD) and analytical expressions of acoustic parameters. Using human immunoglobulin E (hIgE) as an exemplar macromolecule and an anti-hIgE aptamer functionalised on a QCR, quantitative accuracy was benchmarked against the traditional impedance analysis method. The ability of FFD to capture data over longer observation periods at significantly higher acquisition rates at a fixed amplitude showed improvement in the QCR's sensitivity and specificity of transduction. The foundations for low-cost and low power online integration and large-scale multiplexability are also discussed.
