FAQ - TriPAV<\/h2><\/div><\/div>\n<\/div>\n\n
\n

What is the difference between the TriPAV and a conventional rotational rheometer?<\/h3>

A rotational rheometer operates at frequencies up to ~100 Hz. The TriPAV reaches up to 10,000 Hz, allowing for the measurement of viscoelastic properties (G', G'', tan delta) under fast dynamic conditions representative of inkjet, spraying, and ejection processes.<\/p>\n<\/div><\/div>\n\n

Is the TriPAV compatible with solvent-based inks or sensitive biofluids?<\/h3>

Yes, the TriPAV is compatible with solvent-based inks thanks to its hermetically sealed design, which prevents evaporation, and with sensitive biofluids thanks to its micro-rheological mode, which operates at extremely low strain levels that preserve the integrity of fragile samples.<\/p>\n<\/div><\/div>\n\n

Can the viscosity of very low-viscosity fluids, such as inkjet inks, be measured?<\/h3>

Yes. The TriPAV is compatible with viscosities as low as 1 mPa.s, making it suitable for aqueous and solvent-based inkjet inks, solvents, and aqueous biofluids.<\/p>\n<\/div><\/div>\n\n

Do you offer a demonstration using my own samples?<\/h3>

Yes. Rheonova offers demonstrations using your own samples, either on-site or in the lab. Contact us to schedule a session.<\/a><\/p>\n<\/div><\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n\n
