VROC technology combines microfluidic and MEMS technologies to measure dynamic viscosity. What does that mean? We have a lot of newly adapted users so we thought it was about time to do a refresher from our former post, [Know your VROC Chip](https://blog.rheosense.com/know-your-vroc-chip). Some things to know about your VROC Chip: 1. VROC chip technology is formally called the Rectangular Slit Method in US Pharmacopeia chapter 914. 2. The small size of the VROC chip enables smaller sample size, including now 15 microliters with our latest viscometer, m-VROC II. 3. You can choose to have multiple chip options but you do not need all the chip options to successfully measure a wide variety of samples...unless you want to of course. 4. With the fully enclosed design of the VROC chip, your viscosity measurements will not be influenced by air - this is what we call air interface. 5. You do not need to clean in between completely miscible samples - including different concentrations of the same sample. A tip is to go from high concentration to low concentration.  6. For chips that are not fully miscible, we recommend you do a thorough cleaning or check out our automated chip cleaning station.  7.
