Dilute Solution Viscosity


By measuring the flow time of a polymer solution through a precision capillary, we can measure the viscosity which relates to molecular weight.

Capabilities:


  • Can calculate relative, reduced, inherent and intrinsic viscosities.
  • Provides measure of viscosity average molecular weight (Mv) for polymers.
  • Can be used as a Quality Assurance (QA) check for polymer degradation.
  • Applicable to any soluble polymer, for example: PE, PET, PLGA, PEEK, Nylon.

Work We've Done


Quality Control Testing of Medical Implants

We have done inherent viscosity testing for many clients by measuring for each lot produced and then checked against specifications for compliance before the implant lot is released.
