The Cambridge Viscosity VISCOlab 5000 micro-sample viscometer features the smallest sample size requirement for any automated viscosity measurement system available: only 75 μl (microliters)! This viscometer is ideal for biotech and pharmaceutical drug discovery and delivery, and research applications where sample volume is limited and very expensive. Developed for such applications, the VISCOlab 5000 provides accurate and reliable results quickly and cost-effectively.

Samples are introduced to the VISCOlab 5000 measurement chamber via pipette. The remainder of the measurement process is fully automatic. The VISCOlab 5000 controls the temperature of the sample from 10 to 40º C at the discretion of the technician, then measures the sample’s viscosity, processes the data, and either displays the results on the unit’s easy-to-read screen or sends them to an optional printer for hard copy output.

The small equipment footprint is maintained by incorporating an imbedded Peltier™ cell to maintain the desired test temperature. No temperature-control fluids nor large bath apparatus is required. Cleaning is simple and verified through the device’s self-tracking functionality. Accurate within 1% of range, the VISCOlab 5000 brings remarkable new viscosity measurement capabilities to laboratory environments.
