Rotational Viscometer:
ViscoQC
- Single-point measurements on 3.5” color display
- Viscosity range from 1 mPa·s to 6,000,000 mPa·s
- 4 L spindles to measure low-viscosity samples (e.g. solvents, oils, and more)
Do you need an easy-to-use viscometer that provides convenient operation for the most reliable and traceable viscosity results in your day-to-day work? ViscoQC rotational viscometers ensure the quality of your substance – from liquid to semi-solid.
Eliminate the risk of measurement errors and free up your time and budget with the simplest spindle exchange mechanism, automatic spindle detection, automatic speed searching function for new formulations, and more.. Your existing SOPs can be easily converted if the same setup and settings are used.
It’s time to switch to an easier way. It’s time to switch to ViscoQC.
Key features
The easiest-to-use rotational viscometer – unpack and measure
Setup takes less than two minutes: ViscoQC comes preassembled and includes an SOP booklet with first steps and straightforward user training. Our rotational viscometers guide you from startup through the entire measurement process via an intuitive user interface. Continue to use the SOP methods of your existing rotational viscometer: ViscoQC uses the same instrument setup and measuring settings to deliver the same results. Spindles with magnetic coupling for easy, fast, and safe spindle exchange come as standard.
Full traceability for reliable viscosity tests
Make your viscosity measurements error-proof and 100% traceable with our unique Toolmaster™ feature: spindles are automatically detected by the viscometer as soon as they’re attached. With ViscoQC 300, you can further restrict each method to a unique spindle identity. Furthermore, all connected accessories are detected and documented as well:
Built-in digital leveling automatically monitors and indicates the correct levelling status, which prevents faulty measurements and ensures remarkable, full-scale range accuracy of ± 1%. If you need to measure new formulations, ViscoQC automatically leads you to the right spindle/speed configuration using TruMode™.
Your future-proof rotational viscometer
You can upgrade your ViscoQC with accessories to cover any need:
- PTD 80 – For fast and accurate control of sample temperature (+15 °C to +80 °C)
- PTD 175 – High performance temperature control, suitable for standards like ASTM D2983/D8210/D5133/7110 and DIN 51398
- PTD 100 Cone-Plate – For small sample volumes (0.5 mL to 2 mL)
- ETD 300 – For high-temperature measurements of bitumen and hot melts, and for standards like ASTM D4402 and AASHTO T316
- Heli-Plus – For non-flowing substances like gels, pastes, and creams
You can add other software functionality to ViscoQC 300 with V-Curve, adding real-time graphs, analysis (e.g., yield point), programmability, and extended method functionality.
Be fully compliant within one day
ViscoQC is qualified and ready to use within a single day and is compliant to 21 CFR Part 11, GMP, and GAMP 5. The V-Comply software for ViscoQC 300 delivers features like audit trail, electronic signatures and advanced user management. Additionally, it can be accompanied by a pharma qualification document. This elevates the qualification process to much more than just a simple installation and basic IQ/OQ. An in-depth risk analysis, performance qualification, traceability matrix, and final qualification report enhance the value of the qualification package for the entire qualification process.
The most convenient way to generate and export QC data
Every ViscoQC includes the V-Collect PC data collection software. As ViscoQC 100 doesn’t store any data, results are directly exported or printed via the Brother QL-700 label printer after each test. ViscoQC 300 has memory space for up to 999 measurements with up to 10,000 sub-measurements on 150 MB. Additionally, it’s possible to print and export data as PDF, CSV, page printer (USB or network), or label printer. For automated data export, ViscoQC 300 can be integrated into your network via Laboratory Information Management System (LIMS) or FTP Server. Kickstart your paperless lab with AP Connect to connect your instruments, communicate measurement information, and ensure compliance.
Durable parts, maximum uptime
Since ViscoQC uses highly durable bearings and regularly performs an automatic bearing check (TruSine™), your uptime is maximized and ongoing service costs are reduced to a minimum. All of our spindles are made of superior stainless steel (AISI 316L), which increases spindle lifetime by protecting them from corrosion.
