Frequently asked questions about our network of distributors and partners
How can I become a Rheonova distributor in my country?
Are you interested in distributing EasyRheo or representing Rheonova in your region? Contact us to discuss your background, your market, and the terms of partnership. We are looking for distributors with expertise in scientific instrumentation and rheology.
Do distributors offer the same technical support as Rheonova?
Our distributors are trained by the Rheonova teams and have proven technical expertise. For complex rheological analysis needs or in-depth training, our Rheonova experts can step in directly to supplement the local distributor’s support.
Does Rheonova collaborate with academic laboratories to validate its instruments?
Yes. Rheonova collaborates with the Rheology and Processes Laboratory at the University of Grenoble Alpes (UMR CNRS) and several university hospitals (Grenoble, HCL Lyon) to scientifically validate its instruments—notably the RheoMuco for measuring bronchial mucus.
Can I purchase an EasyRheo directly from a local distributor?
Yes. Our exclusive distributors in Japan (EKO Instruments), Spain/Portugal (IFII), South Korea (McARIS), and Italy (Advanced Lab Solutions) offer EasyRheo with local support. In France and the rest of Europe, please contact Rheonova directly.
