CAP 2000+ Viscometer - Brookfield Engineering

Location: Fun Paper Lab
Responsible: Cristina Gaspar
 
Description:
The CAP2000+ offers lower shear rates, making it suitable for many applications where small sample volume and good temperature control are necessary.
Brookfield's CAP-2000+ offers expanded temperature and viscosity ranges with variable speed capability. The CAP2000+ also offers lower shear rates, making it suitable for many applications where small sample volume and good temperature control are necessary. And the rugged, easy-to-use design make it perfect in environments where other instruments won't last.
Microtips
Two types of microtips are available to enable processing samples in small vessels at very high intensity – a tapered microtip and a stepped microtip.The tapered microtip screws into the 13 mm threaded end probe in place of the replaceable tip. The stepped microtip/probe assembly which consists of two parts, the coupler (standard or reverse) and the microtip or probe, screws into the converter in place of the probe. Capable of reaching into narrower vessels than the tapered microtip, the stepped microtip assembly can process volumes as small as 150 μl. Microtips are fabricated from titanium alloy Ti-6Al-4V and are autoclavable.
