A measurement service for temperature-dependent fluids
Send us your samples. We deliver a complete, traceable map of viscosity versus temperature — the kind of dataset that normally takes weeks of manual benchwork.
Cambridge VISCOlab 3000
A piston-style viscometer coupled to a heat-pump cooling/heating bath, with four interchangeable pistons that span the full viscosity range.
| Viscometer | Cambridge VISCOlab 3000 (piston-style) |
|---|---|
| Viscosity range | 0.1 – 20,000 cP |
| Pistons | 4 interchangeable, different cP ranges |
| Temperature | −30 °C to +40 °C via heat-pump cooling/heating bath |
| Resolution | One reading per 0.1 °C |
| Output | Dynamic viscosity (cP), live plot + Excel log |
Stage the samples
Up to eight solutions load into the in-line vial rack — the robot takes it from there.
Pick & fill
The arm selects a vial; the pump fills the viscometer and sets the matching piston for the range.
Sweep temperature
The circulating bath drives the viscometer from −30 °C to +40 °C while the sensor reads continuously.
Log every 0.1 °C
MATLAB live-plots viscosity vs. temperature and logs to Excel — thousands of points per sample.
A real measurement, start to finish
uFactory Lite 6 arm
Six-axis robot that handles vials, pistons and lids through the full cycle.
Piston viscometer
Cambridge VISCOlab 3000 sensor in an engineered thermal jacket — 0.1 to 20,000 cP.
Pump & piston station
Peristaltic pump and multi-piston station fill, empty and re-range the cell.
