The DV-II+Pro Extra - an extension of the company's DVII+Pro viscometer - is an instrument designed to deliver time savings in the laboratory.
It features Brookfield's ball-bearing suspension system, which delivers extended durability for instruments that experience heavy use, multiple operators or dusty and dirty work environments, according to the company.
Brookfield also added EZ-Lock spindle coupling - another productivity booster that is claimed to allow technicians to quickly and easily attach and detach spindles in busy laboratory environments.
The instrument includes a quick-action laboratory stand, which allows users to move the viscometer up and down the stand with the press of a button.
For a limited time, Brookfield is offering free Rheocalc software with every DV-II+Pro Extra.
With Rheocalc, customers can control the instrument from a PC and collect test data, analyse the data, generate multiple plot overlays, print tabular data, run maths models and perform other time-saving routines.
Data can be saved in the Rheocalc software or exported to Microsoft Excel.
