The rheometer at the SATHI facility can be used for characterizing the viscoelastic properties of complex fluids and soft materials such as colloids, polymer solutions, bio-macromolecular systems, hydrogels to name a few. Properties such as storage modulus, loss modulus and viscosity as functions of frequency, strain amplitude, shear rate and temperature can be measured. The equipment comes with a digital microscope accessory, that couples with a glass peltier plate to allow for visualizing microstructural changes in the sample under different flow conditions.
Model: Anton Paar MCR 302e
Manufacturer: Anton Paar GmbH
Geometries: CP50, PP50, PP20, PP-G
Key Features:
Exceptional Torque and angular sensitivity allows for measurements to low frequencies of samples that are even weekly viscoelastic.
A Variety of geometries are available that allows for measuring viscosity and rheological properties of Newtonian to highly non-Maxwellian complex fluids.
Normal force resolution and Z-directional control also enables squeeze flow rheometric measurements.
The rheometer is modular and can be accessorized with a variety of Anton paar geometries that users can bring to use with this rheometer.
Built in analysis features in the Rheocompass software allows for data analysis to determine relaxation spectrum, cross-over frequencies and fit data to standard constitutive models.

Usage Policy and Training Request
We have compiled a detailed usage policy document that covers policies pertaining to access, usage, charges and training. Those who are interested to get trained are encouraged to go through the policy document.
People from SATHI Partner Institutions can contact us to get trained on the Rheometer. Please fill the Training Request Form and we will contact you to schedule a training session. Please note that at this time, we are still developing our cohort of TAs for the equipment. So, there might be a brief delay in scheduling the training for you, however, we will try our best to attend to requests as early as possible.
