VISCObot is the solution to the growing viscosity measurement demands faced by QC, R&D, and testing service laboratories.

It is a fully unattended, self-regulating laboratory system that has been designed to seamlessly integrate into a company's operating practices. It adjusts to actual test fluid conditions and overall lab constraints, can measure viscosity from virtually any sample vial, and can deliver results to any information management system. Sample viscosity is monitored continuously, ensuring accurate results while keeping the system maintenance free.

A programmable auto-sampler handles trays of up to 200 samples and proprietary VISCObot software controls all operations through a PC. The automated test methodology maximizes the efficiency and effectiveness of laboratory personnel at all levels and insures test-to-test and operator-to-operator consistency. Throughput can be adjusted for high speed screening or high accuracy quality control measurements.

Intuitive Software Saves Valuable Time and Effort: VISCObot’s proprietary software is one of its many unique advantages. It has been written to eliminate requirements for operator involvement and to maximize throughput and cost effectiveness. There is no need for time consuming programming. As far as the user is concerned, VISCObot runs samples, not programs.

The software is highly intuitive: only three mouse clicks are needed to initiate the unattended measurement of up to 200 samples. Software controls the test methodology, and data is automatically sent to the laboratory’s data management system. If desired, VISCObot can also be run in manual mode when immediate results are required.

Key Features:

• Provides unattended operation with high throughput with speeds up to 2 minutes per measurement (including sampling, measuring and cleaning)  • Frees up valuable lab technician hours and saves money on every step of viscosity tests  • Requires a sample size of only 6 mL per measurement  • Uses a flexible and reliable sampler that accepts trays of up to 200 samples with no operator involvement  • Produces results that are systematically repeatable and statistically verifiable – very valuable for meeting continuous improvement objectives or other quality enhancement programs  • Capable of precise temperature regulation up to 100°C
