Thermo Haake Viscotester 550 Rotational Viscometer with PK 100 D Plate-Cone Measuring System

The Thermo Haake Viscotester 550 is a precision rotational viscometer designed for accurate viscosity and rheological property measurements, widely used in biotechnology and molecular diagnostics research. It incorporates the PK 100 D Plate-Cone measuring system, enabling detailed analysis of fluid behavior in complex bioprocessing workflows.

Key technical specifications include:

• Speed range: 0.5 to 800 rpm, with controlled dispersion (CD) mode accuracy under 0.5% rpm
• Torque range: 0.01 to 3 Ncm up to 400 rpm; 0.01 to 2 Ncm up to 800 rpm
• Accuracy: ±0.1% for speed; ±0.5% Full Scale Deflection (FSD) for torque
• Temperature range: 50 to +250 °C, supporting high-temperature biochemical process simulations
• Power supply: 230/115 V (50/60 Hz) for versatile laboratory environments

The system includes a measuring vessel optimized for coaxial cylindrical geometry, facilitating consistent sample shear during viscosity measurements critical to synthetic biology and biomanufacturing. Multiple sensors integrated with the PK 100 D improve data fidelity in fluorescence analysis and cell imaging media characterization.

This setup is essential for researchers engaged in molecular cloning workflows, biopharmaceutical production pipelines, and live-cell imaging medium development, providing reliable rheometric data fundamental to quality control and process optimization in biotechnology applications.

Note: The mobile unit MV 3 st shows minor wear but remains functional within specification limits, maintaining accurate performance for demanding research protocols.
