A new generation of online differential viscometers.
On-line differential viscometer with unparalleled signal-to-noise ratio, low baseline drift and noise. Accepts external signals for zero, purge, and recycle. Ethernet and USB communications, full color LCD display conveys data at a glance. Transducer Protection System (TPS) and user-selectable delay volumes also included!
Wyatt Technology in collaboration with Professor Skip Rochefort's group at Oregon State University used a DAWN EOS, an Optilab rEX and a ViscoStar to measure the intrinsic viscosity and Mark-Houwink-Sakurada (MHS) behavior of Hyaluronic Acid (HA). Unusual MHS behavior was demonstrated, perhaps helping explain the large variation in HA MHS coeffiecents that have been reported in the literature. Click on the icon to download the paper.
