- +3
- 360°
- Entry-level rheometer with elevated sensitivity
- Highly accurate air bearing motor (minimum torque 0.4 µNm)
- For measurements in both rotation and oscillation
- Ideal for investigation of sample structure
MCR 72 and MCR 92 are streamlined for your daily lab routine and available at a great price. The modularity allows QC measurements until now only possible in research, while saving costs because there's no need to upgrade to new, more expensive instruments. The modularity also maximizes flexibility because users can add modular elements when needed. Apply temperatures from -50 °C to +400 °C, pressures up to 150 bar, and use industry-specific upgrades to further boost your characterization capabilities.
Key features
Two models designed for your application
MCR 72 is equipped with a ball-bearing motor, which is robust and doesn’t require compressed air. MCR 92, with an air-bearing motor, is highly accurate (minimum torque of 0.4 µNm) and is used for sensitive samples. The two rheometers enable measurements in both rotational and oscillatory mode. The choice of rheometer depends on your application. To investigate the deformation and flow behavior of your sample, use MCR 72. For observing sample structure, MCR 92 is perfect. Both instruments have a motor that lifts up the measuring head automatically to set an exact measuring gap. This gap is 100 % reproducible.
The first entry-level rheometer with advanced modularity
Our rheometer sets a new standard in modularity, delivering unparalleled characterization capabilities for diverse industries. The ETD temperature device expands the temperature range from -50°C to +400°C, and is ideal for polymer QC. The optional Pressure Cell 150 offers unique entry-level QC pressure adaptability, catering to food and polymer applications. Advanced integration with dielectric spectroscopy enables simultaneous impedance and rheometric measurements for battery slurries. Additional modules allow precise starch and building material analyses, making it the only QC rheometer offering such comprehensive versatility without requiring an upgraded platform.
Step-by-step software
The RheoCompass software helps you find the test template you need, customize tests and analysis definitions, export your data, and generate reports. You are guided through your first rheological measurements with predesigned but individually adaptable templates, including integrated videos and pictures for extra support. Different accounts can be created for each operator working in the lab.
Unique features for easy handling and reproducible results
The highlight of these two rheometer models is the patented TruRay lighting of the measuring surface, which can be gradually regulated for a clear view of your sample. When changing between measuring systems, QuickConnect allows one-handed connection of the measuring systems and ensures fast, convenient system changes without the use of a screwing mechanism. Then, Toolmaste takes over by automatically recognizing the mounted tool and temperature units. Finally, the SafeGap feature ensures that the setting of the measuring gap is always identical for every measurement and exactly reproducible every time.

1) Depending on sample properties
2) Depending on measuring point duration and sampling time, practically any value is achieved
3) Set frequencies below 10-4 rad/s are of no practical relevance due to the measuring point duration > 1 day
4) System temperature, sample temperature may vary. For measurements at very high or low temperatures a calibration in the sample gap is recommended.
