Stable Micro Systems signs rheometer distribution agreement

Stable Micro Systems is to distribute the Thermo Scientific HAAKE Viscotester iQ rheometer in the UK, France and Benelux.

The firm said customers will now be able to measure and analyse more physical properties and more products, including liquids, from raw materials to finished goods.

The HAAKE Viscotester iQ can be used for viscosity measurement and rheological investigations in applications from low viscous liquids to stiff pastes and semi-solids.

An optional oscillation mode allows for investigation of the viscoelastic behaviour of highly structured samples.

It can be used as a portable unit or within the QC laboratory as a standalone instrument or be controlled by software.

Jo Smewing, business development director at Stable Micro Systems, said: “It broadens our offering to customers and enables a growing number of producers and processors to understand more of the physical characteristics of their raw materials, semi-finished products and finished goods.

“This expands and improves the quality control options available to some of Europe’s most demanding manufacturing industries.”
