RheolabQC
 It’s not just another QC viscometer or rheometer
 It’s a complete new rheometer concept
 Based on the newest and most innovative
technologies
 And it’s far beyond any other QC rheometer that
you know!

RheolabQC
It’s much easier to use
 ToolmasterTM, Plug and Play
 Quick Connect Coupling
It’s more intuitive
 Offline and Online Programming
 LAN/Ethernet, Serial, PS/2, Barcode Reader
It’s more reliable
 According to international standards
 Absolute viscosity measurement
It’s far beyond the competition
 Technically compatible with MCR rheometers
 Measuring range from water to semisolid
 EC motor technology (brushless DC motor)
 Fastest shear rate steps (one measuring point every 10ms) in shear mode /CSR
 Direct flow point / yield point measurement in stress mode /CSS
 NEW: Peltier temperature control for concentric-cylinder systems
 Data exchange via LIMS system and/or FDA ’21 CFR part 11’ conformity

Temperature control system C-PTD 180/AIR/QC
You would like to measure at different temperatures?
• Based on a Peltier temperature control system
• Wide Temperature range: 0 °C to 180°C
• Cheaper configuration compared with the liquid
temp. control systems
• Special built-in air counter cooling
• No external controller
• No counter cooling by using an external fluid
circulator necessary
