Brookfield Engineering introduces Rheo3000 V.2 Software for use with their new family of RST Touch Screen Rheometers. Utilizing the power of Rheo3000 V.2, RST Rheometers offer the quickest and most comprehensive capability for making rheological measurements, whether it’s single point viscosity for QC or complete flow curve analysis for R&D. Rheo3000 V.2 is 21 CFR compliant, including controlled user access and data integrity/security.

All the operator has to do is enter the shear stress or shear rate, temperature and test time requirements and Rheo3000 V.2 completes the data collection and analysis work. Rheo3000 V.2 can perform a wide variety of tests including: viscoelastic modulus, yield stress, viscosity vs. shear rate profile, thixotropy calculation, creep behavior, recovery after flow, and temperature sensitivity.

Rheo3000 V.2 Software provides visual information and test data on viscoelastic behavior such as viscous creep and recovery. Quality Control Mode enables tolerance bands to be placed around measurement data for immediate visual pass/fail determination.

Mathematical data processing models included: Newton, Bingham, Casson, Herschel-Bulkley, Ostwald and Steiger-Ory.

RheometryRheometers are used to measure the rheology of fluids, which is the flow of fluids in response to an applied force. The most common types of rheometer include shear rheometers (capillary, cone and plate and rotational cylinder) and extensional rheometers. Viscometers are similar to rheometers however viscometers only measure the viscosity of a fluid.Drug DeliveryDrug Delivery refers to dosage form, route of administration, formulations, technologies, and systems for transporting a pharmaceutical compound in the body as needed to safely achieve its desired therapeutic effect. Drug delivery is often approached via the biopharmaceutical or small molecule drug's formulation, but it may also involve medical devices or drug-device combination products. Considerations include instrumentation, software and services. Rheology
