DMA-Rheometer
Our mechanical testing service offers comprehensive characterization of a wide range of materials. Utilizing a DHR-2 Hybrid rheometer, we ensure precise and reliable analysis to meet your needs.
Capabilities
Mechanical testing: from 3D printed polymer to biological tissues, synthetic blood analogs to hydrogels, our testing service covers a broad spectrum of materials.
High precision: The DHR-2 Hybrid Rheometer boasts an exceptional resolution of 0.01 um, enabling detailed characterization of material properties.
Temperature control: all testing can be performed at any set temperature or ramped/oscillated between variable temps (0 – 600 °C). Room, body, or metal annealing temperatures are most common.
Calibration: To maintain accuracy and consistency our rheometer undergoes rigorous yearly calibration.
