How to Choose the Right Viscometer: A Practical Guide

How Do I Find the Right Viscometer?

A practical guide to choosing the instrument that actually fits your sample, your workflow, and your budget.

Looking for a viscometer can feel overwhelming, but it doesn't have to be. Two labs measuring the same property can land on completely different "right" answers. The hard part isn't the science. It's matching the instrument to your sample, your volume, and your workflow, and whether you want accurate numbers or just a number. (Psst… if accuracy weren't the point, why measure at all?)

For polymer researchers and formulators still using manual viscometers, there's a better way — one that delivers intrinsic viscosity data in a fraction of the time, with a fraction of the solvent, and none of the operator guesswork.

Tutorial on Using Dummy Chips

Today, we’re focusing on how to use dummy chips.
RheoSense provides a specialized tool—what we call dummy chips—that replicate the VROC chip powering all of our viscometers. This simple, transparent microscope slide–style tool allows you to:

microVISC PRO with EMC Testing

microVISC PRO EMC Testing for EU, US, and Canada

Releasing microVISC PRO, we have worked with a variety of safety regulations including safety and that the microVISC PRO viscometer safety certified. Electromagnetic Compatibility (EMC) testing. This important milestone ensures that the instrument meets strict international standards for safety and performance across multiple regions.

Temperature Matters

Why Temperature Matters in Viscosity Measurement

I am getting different viscosity results. What do I do?

Getting Different Results from External Laboratories?

It’s more common than you might think. Many customers have reported receiving different viscosity values from vendors, product datasheets, and even their own clients. So, what should you do when this happens?

Wine Paired with Good Science at GGPF November Meeting!

How to Deal with GLP-1? Why You are Underutilizing Viscosity!

Viscosity plays a critical but often underappreciated role in GLP-1 (glucagon-like peptide-1) research, particularly in formulation development, delivery method design, and stability testing. GLP-1 has been increasing in discussions and topics as Ozempic and Wegovy have hit the markets as a weight loss alternative as well as a treatment for diabetes. Here's where and why it matters:
