Why choose the Icon Scientific Viscosity Analyzer? The unit can accommodate a wide range of pressures and temperatures at the inlet and can return sample direct to the process.

Precise temperature control is achieved by immersing the measuring capillary in a small stirred heated oil bath. In this way a single capillary tube can be used for a wide range of viscosity measurements. The Viscosity Analyzer works by measuring the differential pressure across a capillary tube at constant and variable flow rates using a variable speed metering pump. The results obtained may be directly correlated to standard test methods such as ASTM D445. Kinematic viscosity may also be calculated with a density input. The icon scientific Viscosity Analyzer is used to measure the dynamic viscosity of a range of petroleum products including lube oils, lube oil stocks, biodiesel and fuel oils. High throughput screening of new drugs and preparations.īiological liquids used in medical laboratories (very small sample size).Icon’s Viscometer Analyzer and Viscosity Index for proven and reliable measurement What does the Viscometer Analyzer do?

Various pharmaceutical and biopharmaceutical formulations, such as ointments, creams, solutions. Alfa Chemistry provides viscosity measurements in a range that includes: If you have any questions about viscosity measurement, please feel free to contact us. We can solve the problem of how to screen low viscosity properties or formulations that do not meet the prescribed viscosity range at an early stage of development and provide you with accurate and reliable testing results in a limited amount of time.

Especially for precious samples with very few samples, it is much difficult to measure them according to the formula conditions (under the condition of high concentration).Īs a trusted three-way testing company in the pharmaceutical industry, Alfa Chemistry provides professional viscosity measurement services to clients worldwide to meet your viscosity measurement needs at different stages of your research. The viscosity can be accurately determined in the early stage of preparation, which plays a key role in reducing the number of failed candidate samples in the follow-up development stage. It is therefore necessary to monitor the viscosity during the pharmaceutical process to ensure quality control and compliance with the Pharmacopoeia requirements. For example, the viscosity of a semisolid formulation may affect the diffusion rate and release of the drug.

The measurement of viscosity is particularly important among the many analytical difficulties faced by researchers in the development of pharmaceutical, especially preformulation development stage of biopharmaceutical.
