Method description

Rheology is the study of flow and deformation. Controlled Stress Rheometers are flexible instruments that can measure a variety of viscous and viscoelastic properties. The rheometer also provides precise temperature control in the range of -10 to 150°C. The instrument is programmed on an individual sample basis to provide the rheological information that the customer requires.

Acceptable matrices

Applicable samples include pourable liquids, pastes, and gels, including those that flow with the application of force.

Unacceptable matrices

Solids

Our standard turnaround time is 10 business days for most assays. There are some assays that require a longer turnaround time. We also offer a RUSH service that is half the time of the standard turnaround time of the assay at double the cost of the assay. A few assays that we provide cannot be rushed due to the nature of the test. Please check the specific assay you are interested in regarding the ability to RUSH the turnaround time.
