A new era in rheometry begins with the instrument carrying the DNA of Anton Paar’s flagship MCR series. Welcome to the next generation of entry-level instruments, inspired by more than a decade of innovation.
Designed for speed, intelligence, and trust, they deliver the fastest measurements, and the highest reproducibility. They’re effortless to operate due to touchscreen operation, digital leveling, and TruRay illumination. And the CoolPeltier system ensures precise, cost-efficient temperature control without thermostats. With automatic calibration, verification tools, and full support, these instruments redefine entry-level rheometry.

Key features

The fastest entry-level rheometer

Experience the fastest entry-level rheometer on the market, delivering standard measurements up to 60 % faster compared to any other comparable rheometer. Features like the Trimming Mirror and TruRay Illumination simplify and accelerate sample preparation. And QuickConnect and Toolmaster ensure instant, tool-free setup and automatic accessory recognition. This way, you get precision and efficiency in every test.

The most precise temperature control in entry-level rheometry

Achieve the most precise temperature control in entry-level rheometry with CoolPeltier technology (no thermostat required), reducing costs and environmental impact. The gradient-free range from -5 °C to +200 °C ensures unmatched accuracy, while automatic calibration sets cover -50 °C to +400 °C for consistent precision. Compact, sustainable, and more capable than the competition, it delivers reliable results with lower investment and operational costs.

The smartest entry-level rheometer

The smartest entry-level rheometer features an integrated touchscreen for complete test setup, sample preparation, and operation directly on the instrument. Auto Control continuously monitors the sample behavior during tests and adjusts the control loop in real time – automatically delivering high-quality results even for unknown samples. This eliminates the need for time-consuming preset adjustments, and ensures effortless precision every time.

The most adaptable entry-level rheometer

The most adaptable entry-level rheometer sets new standards in flexibility, with modularity that expands from core QC applications to advanced areas like powder rheology and tribology with the MCR 93. With its ball-bearing design, the MCR 53 operates without pressurized air, offering maximum flexibility for use even next to production lines. Built to adapt and grow with your testing needs, it delivers reliable performance today and is fully equipped for the future.

The most trusted entry-level rheometer

The most trusted entry-level rheometer combines Anton Paar’s pioneering legacy with state-of-the-art MCR technology for unmatched reliability and precision. RheoCompass for QC features the industry’s largest library of guided templates and SOPs – simplifying every step of your workflow. With configurable My Apps and expert support, it delivers consistent, confident results for every user and application. Our unique digital leveling system replaces traditional water balances with smart software control, making setup faster and more precise. The leveling status is automatically stored with each data set, so you can always verify correct alignment later – ensuring full confidence in results.
