Why Anton Paar Rheometers?

The MCR rheometer series from the market leader offers you an open range of possibilities. Based on its modular setup, your MCR rheometer can be easily and efficiently adapted to meet your needs, from routine quality control to high-end R&D applications. An investment in an MCR rheometer is always a safe investment in tried-and-tested technology: The air-bearing-supported EC motor, for example, was developed by Anton Paar and has been used in all MCR models for over 25 years to ensure accuracy across a vast viscosity range. It enables measuring liquids with a viscosity even lower than water and to characterize stiff materials like polymer composites or steel by DMA – and any material in between.
