A New Era in Rheometry
2025-10-14 | Corporate
Building on its industry-leading legacy in rheometry, Anton Paar has unveiled its next generation of modular compact rheometers (MCRs), setting new benchmarks for precision, speed, intelligence, and adaptability in material characterization.
From cutting-edge laboratories to high-throughput QC environments, the new MCR platform empowers users to explore previously impossible applications and accelerate results.
The most precise rheometer
With minimum torque down to 0.2 nNm, a minimum normal force of 1 mN and a maximum frequency of up to 200 Hz, the MCR series delivers measurement fidelity that reveals subtle micro-scale behaviors – opening doors to new applications and maximizing confidence in every data point.
The fastest rheometer
The MCR series boosts throughput for a faster return on investment, with an unprecedented focus on productivity. Next-generation electronics deliver faster results, lightning-fast boot-up time, and one-handed measuring geometry coupling via QuickConnect.
The smartest rheometer
Intelligent automation streamlines complex analyses. An integrated touchscreen allows preparation directly at the instrument, electronical levelling, Toolmaster automatically recognizes accessories, and the updated RheoCompass software guides users through every step – so they can focus on insights, not setup.
The most adaptable rheometer
A truly modular architecture supports the industry’s broadest accessory range and all major test modes – from dynamic mechanical analysis and powder rheometry to tribology and rheo-optics – across the widest temperature span. Whatever users’ ideas, the MCR grows with them.
Backed by over 16,000 installations worldwide and Anton Paar’s global support network, the next-generation rheometers reaffirm the company’s legacy of innovation and service excellence.
