Company has pioneered innovative technologies and products for the characterisation of natural and synthetic polymers and proteins, and determination of dilute solution viscosities
Viscotek has recently celebrated its 20th anniversary.
Max Haney, the inventor of the four capillary differential viscometer detector, founded Viscotek in 1984.
Since then the company has pioneered innovative technologies and products for the characterisation of natural and synthetic polymers and proteins, and determination of dilute solution viscosities.
This pioneering spirit has allowed it to become a market leader in the manufacture of gel permeation chromatography (GPC), flow injection polymer analysis (Fipa), and dilute solution viscosity (DSV) detectors and software, it says.
The introduction of new products including the GPCmax, OmniSec software and the low angle light scattering (Lals) detector for the triple detector array over the last few years has enabled Viscotek to maintain steady growth.
Viscotek says its triple detection systems, which employ a concentration detector, viscometer and light scattering detector operating in concert, are today the defacto standard for the characterisation of natural and synthetic polymers and proteins in the petrochemical, specialty chemical, elastomers, adhesives, coatings, food, agricultural, academic, pharmaceutical and biotechnology markets.
Operating out of the corporate offices in Houston, Texas, Viscotek USA provides coverage the North American and Asian markets.
Viscotek Europe, headquartered in the UK with offices in the Netherlands, Germany, and France has responsibility for sales and service in the European market. Viscotek's staff includes a broad and growing range of polymer chemists, engineers and software specialists, as well as an experienced sales and marketing force.
Investment in experienced and knowledgeable staff has enabled the company to provide an unmatched level of service and support to customers worldwide.
