Rheometer Haake Mars II from Thermo Fischer Scientific

This instrument allows the rheological characterization of the flow behaviour and viscoelastic properties of complex fluids and bulk soft matter systems. Seven different measuring geometries are available in cone-plate (C20/2.0° Ti L; C20/4.0° Ti L and C60/1.0° Ti L), plate-plate (P20 Ti L and P60 Ti L) and Couette (CC16 DIN Ti and CC25 DIN Ti) configuration. Two Peltier controllers allow sample temperature regulation during the measurement in the range from 5 °C up to 85 °C with 0.1°C precision.
