A
new addition to the Bohlin Gemini family of rheometers
from Malvern Instruments is optimized for the control
of ultra-low torques, and opens up new opportunities
to probe weak or sensitive material structures and
low viscosity systems. The new instrument will make
its debut at the 77 th Annual Meeting of the Society
of Rheology ( October 16-20, 2005 ; Vancouver , BC
) for which Malvern is a primary sponsor.
Like all previous Bohlin High Resolution rheometers,
the new Bohlin Gemini HR nano offers
advanced technology with straightforward operation.
While enabling the measurement and control of nano-torque
levels, it retains a continuous working torque range
to 200 mNm allowing complete rheological characterization.
Allied to the most sensitive normal force measurement
available, the Gemini HR nano offers the ultimate
in instrument capabilities for weakly-structured
systems.
Development
of this new rheometer has been made possible through
the continued advancement of Malvern's state-of-the-art
air bearing design coupled with its patented Rotonetic™ 2
DSP drive system. The Bohlin Gemini HR nano's unsurpassed
range and sensitivity allows torque and speed control
across all steady, dynamic and transient test modes.
Both strain controlled and stress controlled tests
can be performed with ease.
As
modular systems, the Bohlin Gemini rheometers offer
a wide range of measurement geometries and accessories,
with quick and easy configuration enabling their
use for many different materials and applications.
EasySwap™ temperature controllers include integrated
Peltier devices, a forced gas oven with optional
liquid nitrogen cooling, electrical heating and a
variety of fluids circulators. Windows-based software
allows easy programming for any test protocol and
is equally suited to advanced research or routine
QA/QC applications.
