Thermo Scientific™ HAAKE™ MARS™ iQ Rotational Rheometer

Descrizione

Thermo Scientific™ HAAKE™ MARS™ iQ Rotational Rheometers ensure intuitive, reliable and flexible rheological measurements. Everything about this QC rheometer is designed to provide intuitive handling and fast, reliable results. A sophisticated touchscreen enables standard operating procedures to be run right from rheometer itself. Connect Assist functionality guides users for failure-free measurement.

Choose a HAAKE MARS iQ Rheometer with either the ball bearing or air bearing system to suit your lab. A broad range of accessories helps meet the ever-greater testing demands on QC labs.

HAAKE MARS iQ Rotational Rheometers are the replacements for the discontinued Thermo Scientific™ HAAKE™ RheoStress™ 1 Rheometer and Thermo Scientific™ HAAKE™ RotoVisco™ 1 Rotational Rheometer.

HAAKE MARS iQ Rheometers offer many advantages:

Intuitive Operations

• Multifunctional 7’’ touchscreen for instrument operation and SOP execution right at your fingertips
• ‘‘Assist‘‘ functionalities to simplify operation and prevent mistakes
• ‘‘Connect Assist‘‘ quick coupling of measuring geometries and temperature modules with automatic recognition
• ‘‘Color Assist‘‘ color-coded plugs for quick, correct selection of temperature modules
• HAAKE™ RheoWin™ Rheology Software for extensive measuring flexibility with free updates (Optional 21 CFR part 11 module available)

Intelligent Design

• Folded H frame concept for greater stiffness and ultra-precise lift control with a wide travel range
• Durable material: high-performance mineral composite casting with high vibrational damping, minimal temperature expansion and high chemical resistance
• Next generation of highly dynamic, powerful EC motor with a mechanical or air bearing. 

Individualized Configurations

• Broad scope of temperature modules, measuring geometries and application-oriented measuring cells, e.g., pressure cells, building material measuring cell or tribology measuring cell
• Sensitive normal force sensor measures axial forces in both directions for applications such as texture analysis
• Lateral and bottom access for customized test requirements

Application solutions
The HAAKE MARS iQ Rheometers are well-suited for the rheological characterization of a broad range of samples from low-viscous or water-like up to stiff and paste-like semisolids:

• Investigation of paints, coatings and inks: shear viscosity, thixotropy, yield stress, shear recovery, levelling and sagging behavior
• Rheology and textural properties of foods and foodstuffs: shear viscosity, yield stress, tribology, texture analysis (axial bending, breaking, squeezing tests), phase transition  
• Rheology of cosmetics and pharmaceuticals: viscosity, yield stress, viscoelastic properties, stability tests 
• Rheology of polymer (e.g. polymer melts and solutions): viscoelasticity, phase transitions (glass transition, crystallization, melting), processing behavior (hot melt extrusion, molding, spinning), molecular weight, curing
• Rheology of petrochemicals (crude oils, fracking liquids and drilling fluids): viscosity, yield stress, pressure dependent properties, stability tests, wax deposition, wax appearance temperature (WAT)
• Dynamic shear rheometer (DSR) tests according to AASHTO, ASTM and DIN used for bitumen and asphalt
• Construction and building material (cement paste and slurries): flow properties of suspensions with large particles
