Less is more: Highly accurate viscosity measurements from 0.1 mL of sample

The modular microviscometer from Anton Paar enables highly accurate viscosity measurements with sample volume starting from only 100 µl. Results allow deep insights into the viscosity of liquids, providing accuracy up to 0.5 % and repeatability up to 0.1 %. The microviscometer is available as a stand-alone viscometer or in combination with a DMA M density meter for simultaneous determination of density, kinematic viscosity and dynamic viscosity. Combinations with other parameters, such as sound velocity and refractive index, are also available.

Easy-operation viscometer
Manual operation of Lovis 2000 M/ME requires only selection of the measuring method, sample filling and pressing “Start”. Connecting a Plug and Play sample changer enables automatic measurement of up to 96 samples at the push of a button. Temperature control is quick and precise. Under optimum conditions, a measurement is completed in 30 seconds.

Low-viscosity rolling-ball rheometer
Lovis 2000 M/ME is also a “lo vis” rolling-ball rheometer. It provides the option of varying the inclination, which corresponds to the shear rate. The microviscometer therefore determines the shear rate dependence of low-viscosity liquids, which makes it suitable for automated zero-shear viscosity investigations.

All-round viscometer
Lovis 2000 M/ME is specially designed for low-viscosity liquids but can be used for viscosity measurement on samples with a viscosity of up to 10,000 mPa.s, at any temperature from 5 °C to 100 °C. Lovis 2000 M/ME is also suitable for measuring highly corrosive samples (such as hydrofluoric acid).

The Polymer viscometer
Lovis 2000 M/ME offers unique polymer software features, enabling simple and automatic determination of intrinsic viscosity, molar mass, relative viscosity and other polymer specific parameters.

Whether for research or industry, Lovis 2000 M/ME does a lot with a little sample volume.
