Rheosense has released uVISC (micro VISC) viscometer, which utilises VROC technology to provide a high level of accuracy and repeatability in viscosity measurement.
The measurement process consists of three simple steps: load your sample into a disposable pipette; mount the pipette; and run the test.
Measurement results, including data necessary for advanced analysis, are displayed in less than a minute for most samples.
Features of the uVISC include: viscosity (in mPa-s or cP), shear rate and sample temperature measurement; only 100uL needed per measurement; no evaporation; accuracy exceeds one per cent of full scale or two per cent of reading; repeatability within one per cent; measurements take as little as a minute; a range of viscosities is measurable (0.2-5,000cP) with hot-swappable sensor cartridges; lightweight (1.5lb) and portable (powered by a rechargeable Li-ion battery); cleaning is unnecessary when continuously testing analogous or miscible samples; up to 20 tests logged, each with a user-definable sample ID; multiple operational modes to assist any user, whether beginner or advanced; automated cleaning mode.
The uVISC's interface and singular technology gives quality results quickly, allowing users to fully meet quality control goals.
VROC (Viscometer-Rheometer-On-a-Chip) is the only MEMS microfluidic chip-based viscometry technology in the world, according to Rheosense.
