Launched last month, the Kinexus rotational rheometer platform (photo) enables users to spend less time learning how to interact with their system and more time investigating ways to characterize and enhance a material’s performance. Fully integrated into the firm’s materials-characterization range, Kinexux delivers high-performance measurement supported by the company’s expertise in complex materials, including macromolecular and multiphase systems. Two systems will be available: Kinexus pro, a high-end rheometer suitable for routine and research applications; and Kinexus ultra, for demanding low-torque applications, such as weakly structured and small-volume sample measurements. — Malvern Instruments Ltd., Malvern, U.K.
