Can intrinsic viscosity be used as a QC parameter for the structure and size of polymers and other macromolecules? With portable, repeatable, and small sample viscometer, microVISC™, YES!

A solute's contribution to the viscosity of a solution, or its intrinsic viscosity, is a strong indicator of the molecular interactions. Quick and accurate measurement of intrinsic viscosity allows for the QC of the molecular size and structure of samples. 
 

microVISC™ offers a fast and convenient way of characterizing intrinsic viscosity with numerous advantages over conventional viscometers. 

• Small Sample Volume
• Temperature Control: 18 - 55ºC
• Superior Accuracy (2% of Reading) and Repeatability (0.5% of Reading)
• No Air-Liquid Interface (No evaporation or Contamination)
• Portable
• Wide Dynamic Range: 
   
  • Viscosity: 0.2 - 20,000 cP
  • Shear Rate: 1.7 - 5,800 1/s
