Inherent Viscosity with microVISC PRO

microVISC PRO - Determining Inherent Viscosity of Polyethylene Terephthalate (PET)

Faster, Smarter Continuous Viscosity Measurement. 
microVISC PRO.

For polymer researchers and formulators still using manual viscometers, there's a better way — one that delivers intrinsic viscosity data in a fraction of the time, with a fraction of the solvent, and none of the operator guesswork.


The challenge with traditional viscometers

Intrinsic viscosity is a critical quality metric for polymers — from synthetic materials to biopolymers and naturally derived chains. But measuring it with a manual glass capillary viscometer comes with a set of frustrations that slow R&D cycles and introduce variability into QC workflows.

Volatile samples? High-viscosity materials? These instruments were simply not designed with modern polymer science in mind.


Introducing the microVISC PRO with A05 chip

The microVISC PRO is a rectangular slit viscometer (USP 914) engineered for the full concentration range of intrinsic and inherent viscosity measurements. Using the A05 chip, it replaces the slow, manual workflows of glass capillary instruments with a platform that is fast, precise, and remarkably easy to use.

  • Fast measurements, no cleaning needed
  • Automated, operator-independent data
  • Microfluidic — minimal sample required
  • No cleaning solvents needed
  • Sealed path handles volatile solvents
  • Measures high-viscosity materials
  • Higher instrument investment

The glass capillary viscometer remains an affordable entry point. The microVISC PRO earns its place in labs where throughput, reproducibility, and sample economy matter.


Ideal for polymer manufacturers and formulators

Whether you're characterizing biopolymers produced by enzymatic polymerization, natural polymer chains, or synthetic materials, the microVISC PRO with A05 chip is designed for the R&D and QC workflows where precision and speed are non-negotiable. It's particularly well suited for teams working across a range of polymer molecular weights and concentrations.
