The world’s first fully automated high-throughput rheometer
The HTR automation series offers an optimized analysis workflow for rheological investigations based on Anton Paar’s MCR 702 rheometer. The extensive set of features and the built-in flexibility make it the ideal choice for sophisticated and high-throughput R&D or QC work.
Maximized operation flexibility
HTR can be equipped with up to 96 measuring geometry units (e.g. for polymer melts) and offers three different rheological geometries (CC, CP, PP) The standard rack configuration holds 96 samples. Different types of racks for pipettes, syringes, and trim blades and temperature-controlled sample storage (down to 4 °C) are available.
Perfectly safe and accurate workflow
HTR achieves lab accuracy due to the mechanical decoupling of rheometer and automation unit and is set up for maximum efficiency:
• Sample management by using job lists
• LIMS integration (file transfer, database, Ethernet)
• Priority samples can be introduced at any time
• Four-stage programmable cleaning station (rinse, brush, clean, dry)
• Integrated trim tool removes excessive sample material to avoid wrong measurement results
• Visual verification of trim result
Masters all kinds of rheological samples
HTR offers different systems for:
• Dispensable samples
System for liquid samples with up to 1000 mPa.s which are suited for exact dispensing
• Low-viscosity samples
System for concentric cylinder measurements for low-viscosity samples
• Paste-like samples
System for paste-like or gel-like samples which are not suited for exact dispensing
• Polymer melts
System for measuring polymer melts from disk-shaped samples
Additional modules for growing automation needs
The following additional modules can be selected:
• Gravimetric and volumetric dosing and weighing
• pH measurement
• Capping/decapping of sample cups or vials
• Various gripper tools for samples, measurement geometries, and disposables
• Precise dosing of sample liquids via pipettes and/or syringes
• Automatic cutting of pipette opening to reduce shear stress
• Shaker module for reproducible shaking
• Bar code reader for sample identification, process control, and logging
• Ventilation for volatile and solvent-based samples
