Promotion of the effectiveness of viscosity measurement for very small sample liquids.

ジャパンコントロールス「Japan Controls Co. Ltd.」東京本社

A U.S. biotech company has adopted the Cambridge VISCOlab 5000 for viscosity measurement of micro-samples for the development of an injectable drug for brain aneurysms. This viscosity measurement device requires only a sample volume of 0.075cc, achieving accurate and reliable measurements while significantly reducing costs. Viscosity measurement is performed automatically by simply placing the sample liquid into the measurement chamber, and the liquid temperature is also automatically controlled, leading to highly effective results.

Viscometer VISCOpro series
Smart Approach to Viscosity Measurement and Control

- The innovative sensor's operating element (piston), based on the free-fall principle, performs reciprocating motion in the fluid within the measurement chamber through electromagnetic movement. - The piston operates within the liquid that flows into the measurement chamber, and the time required for its reciprocating motion is analyzed and converted to absolute viscosity. Additionally, the built-in temperature sensor continuously outputs the actual temperature data within the chamber, contributing to the calculation of temperature-corrected viscosity (TCV). - The piston’s reciprocating motion continuously allows for the inflow and outflow of fluid, and all wetted components are made of stainless steel, ensuring corrosion resistance.

High Pressure Viscometer VISCCOlab PVT
High-pressure and high-temperature fluid viscosity measurement device. Supports pressure up to 138 MPa, temperature up to 190°C, and viscosity up to 10,000 cP.

The monitor for settings not only has analog output, but its usability is further expanded by connecting to an external PC via a digital communication port.
Viscometer for high-temperature processes
Inline high-temperature process viscosity control device. Maximum temperature 375°C, viscosity range 0.2-20,000 cP.

The sensor is a falling body type, which uses the magnetic force of two built-in coils to move a small piston back and forth, converting that time into viscosity. Additionally, a built-in temperature sensor (temperature resistance element) measures temperature and converts it into temperature-compensated viscosity. The total measurement range is 0.2-20,000 cP, divided into 13 ranges, from which you can select the sensor. For viscosity control, it can be configured with 40 different setting programs, making it unnecessary to operate during use.
Small sample laboratory-type viscometer
It is possible to measure the viscosity of a small sample liquid of just 2ml. This is effective for measuring the viscosity of expensive sample liquids in biochemistry and drug development.

The VISCOlab 4000 is a compact laboratory (benchtop) viscometer, and it is possible to maintain a constant temperature control of the fluid by using an optional circulating jacket. Additionally, in combination with the built-in temperature sensor, it performs temperature-corrected viscosity measurements, offering high accuracy and excellent reproducibility.
