The micro-VISC viscosity measurement device utilizes MEMS (microelectromechanical systems) microfluidics technology in a small, easy-to-use instrument. Viscosities from 0.2 to around 5,000 cP can be measured with repeatability within 1%, and volumes of only 100 μL are required for each measurement. The lightweight (1.5 lb) sensor is powered by a rechargeable Li-ion battery, and can log up to 20 tests. Results are displayed in less than one minute for most samples. — RheoSense, Inc., San Ramon, Calif.
