PAC Cambridge Viscosity - Model VISCOlab 5000 -Micro Sample Viscometer
The VISCOlab 5000 features the smallest sample size requirement for any automated viscosity measurement system available: only 75 μl (microlitres)! This laboratory viscometer is ideal for biotech and pharmaceutical drug discovery and delivery, and research applications where sample volume is limited. The VISCOlab 5000 provides accurate and reliable results quickly and cost- effectively. The small lab viscometer incorporates an imbedded Peltier™ cell to digitally maintain the desired test temperature. No temperature-control fluids or large bath apparatus is required.
Product Description
The VISCOlab 5000 requires only 75 pL of sample for accurate and repeatable results: the smallest sample requirement for any automated viscosity measurement system available today. The sample is simply introduced to the measurement chamber via pipette. Then the VISCOlab 5000 takes over, controlling the temperature, measuring the viscosity, processing the data and reporting the results on the screen or optional printer.
The tests are performed at the desired temperature through an imbedded Peltier cell without requiring temperature-control fluids. Cleaning is simple and verified through the device`s self-tracking.
Technology Overview
The core of the system is a Cambridge Viscosity electromagnetic viscometer. The VISCOpro electronics continuously drives a piston with a magnetic field through the fluid to measure viscosity. The VISCOlab software controls and monitors the tests and ensures stability and accuracy of the measurement. Internal to the sensor is a RTD to provide accurate temperature measurements.
