The Physica MCR rheometers are based on a concept at the cutting edge of technology. The EC motor technique, the low friction bearing and the patented normal force sensor have been optimized over years to satisfy the highest demands of rheologists. Any type or combination of rheological tests, both in rotational and oscillatory mode, are possible with the Physica MCR rheometers. The modularity of the system allows the integration of a wide range of temperature accessories and special modules. The innovative and patented features Toolmaster™ and TruGap™ are breakthroughs in terms of user-friendliness
