Thermo Scientific HAAKE MARS iQ Rheometer

The Thermo Scientific HAAKE MARS iQ Rheometer was specifically designed to meet the needs of QC labs, with built-in features that assist users to deliver correct results. Key features such as touchscreen control that allows users to quickly execute standard operating procedures (SOPs) and intuitive Connect Assist functionalities mean QC lab technicians can deliver consistent results, even in busy labs with multiple operators running tests.

An intuitive, multilingual 7″ touch screen allows users to run SOPs directly from the instrument with step-by-step guidance. The touch screen also shows instructions using images from the user’s own lab to clearly illustrate how to do the analysis correctly, step by step, for each user that is specific to that lab’s process.

Assist functionalities provide lab technicians with comprehensive guidance to reduce user errors. For example, the Connect Assist for temperature modules and measuring geometries allows technicians to quickly change accessories with quick coupling, automatic recognition and accurate alignment.

Advanced testing methods and normal force capabilities measure axial forces in two directions. This supports texture analysis for sample bending, breaking and squeezing tests or tribology measurements for testing friction, lubrication and wear. The frame and lift mechanism meanwhile provides high vibrational damping, minimal temperature expansion and high chemical resistance to help ensure consistent results.
