Temperature Control Solutions for ViscoQC:
Temperature Device
- For routine QC applications from +15 °C to +80 °C
- Solid-state Peltier: no liquids, no leaks, and maintenance-free
- Compact design: saves bench space and simplifies setup
- Fast thermal response time for quicker test readiness
- T-Ready™ feature signals sample temperature equilibration
Achieve precise, reliable viscosity measurements with Anton Paar's temperature control solutions for the ViscoQC series. The PTD 80, PTD 175, PTD 100 Cone-Plate, and ETD 300 offer integrated, liquid-free temperature control directly managed via the ViscoQC interface. Features like the T-Ready™ function ensure accurate sample temperature before measurement, enhancing repeatability and efficiency. The integrated digital levelling sensors guarantee constant correct alignment of the system, preventing tilt-related stress, for long-term performance. Whether for small sample volumes or high-temperature applications, these devices streamline workflows and deliver consistent results.
