Rapid Viscosity Measurements

Measure Viscosity in Three Simple Steps

The μVISC (micro VISC) viscometer from RheoSense employs VROC® (Viscometer-Rheometer-On-a-Chip) technology, a MEMS microfluidic chip-based viscometry technology, which facilitates accuracy and simplicity.

The measurement process consists of just three simple steps: load the 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.

“This enables lab scientists to get accurate viscosity measurements in the shortest time,” said Seong-Gi Baek, Ph.D., President of RheoSense. “In addition, small sample volumes enable low-cost product development at early stages of R&D.”

The device facilitates measurements for a wide range of viscosities (0.2 cP ~ 5,000 cP) with hot-swappable sensor cartridges. Featuring multiple operational modes to assist any user, the device can log up to 20 tests, each with a user-definable sample ID.

“No evaporation during testing ensures [integrity] of data,” added Baek. “No air interface in particular eliminates the interfacial effect of adsorbed proteins at the interface.”

Since each sample is contained in a pipette, there is no need to clean the device. Samples can be continuously run.

Accuracy exceeds 2% of the reading and repeatability is within 1%.

Frozen Sample Management Software

Enterprise-class Performance for Large and Small Labs

RURO’s FreezerPro 2011 software is now available in three new editions. The reliable and secure Web-based application lets users know exactly where a frozen sample is located even before opening the freezer door. Complete with revised audit trails for samples and vials with greater detail, the new software maintains compliance with the FDA ’s current GLP/GMP requirements.

“By keeping the inventory organized, researchers save themselves lots of time every day,” said Vlad Lebedev, Systems Architect with RURO. “All their samples are a few clicks away, no matter where they are.”

The new barcode label designer lets users keep their existing label formats and use a wide range of popular printers. In addition, an enhanced user interface puts users in control of their FreezerPro experience via user-defined fields and sample views including a box view that displays sample icons.

Available in FreezerPro Standard, Enterprise and Multisite, there is an edition for every type of application. The Enterprise and Multisite versions include extended APIs which enable full read/ write access to sample data, as well as an integrated real-time notification system for communicating changes in sample data to external applications.
