Here are the features of the ElectroForce 5500! - The smallest TA device. - In addition to tensile/compression/three-point bending, it can also perform viscoelastic/fatigue/immersion tests. - Fatigue testing can be conducted with loads that simulate human walking. - Up to 24 specimens can be measured simultaneously.

The Discovery Core Rheometer is the first system to provide extensive measurements of viscosity and viscoelasticity with simple operability. New feature: The RheoGuide user interface allows operation from a touchscreen, providing guidance, visualization, and verification at each step. 【Discover Insights Beyond Viscosity】 Viscometers only report a single viscosity value within a limited range, whereas the Core Rheometer captures a complete viscosity profile, representing the material's behavior under all relevant conditions. Complex fluids such as suspensions, emulsions, gels, pastes, and slurries are non-Newtonian fluids, and their viscosity changes depending on the applied shear rate and time. Characterizing the full range of viscosity is crucial for understanding flow behavior under real-world conditions. 【Key Features】 Advantages of the Rheometer: ■ Accuracy and precision ■ Wide range of measurements ■ Controlled shear rate ■ Reproducibility of process conditions ■ Measurable with small sample sizes ■ Rapid temperature control Test Modes: ■ Flow ■ Oscillation ■ Transient

The DCR (Discovery Core Rheometer) provides precision and detailed analysis that surpasses traditional viscometers in evaluating the viscosity and viscoelasticity of hand creams and shampoos. The feel and performance of hand creams and shampoos heavily depend on their viscosity and viscoelastic properties. Conventional viscometers can only measure viscosity at a single shear rate, but the DCR analyzes viscosity and viscoelastic properties across a wide range of shear rates, allowing for the assessment of product feel and stability. This enables optimization in product development and quality control. Key Features: - High-precision measurement: Accurately measures fine viscoelastic properties that cannot be detected by viscometers. - Wide shear rate range: Adapts to various usage conditions and analyzes detailed viscoelastic properties. - Real-time analysis: Evaluates viscosity and viscoelastic properties in real-time during the manufacturing process. - User-friendly: Intuitive operation and advanced data analysis functions make it easy for anyone to use. By using the DCR, you can fully understand the viscosity and viscoelastic properties of hand creams and shampoos, enhancing product feel and quality. The DCR provides detailed data that cannot be obtained from traditional viscometers, making it the optimal solution for the development and quality control of personal care products.
