GoVisc
The Future is automated
Automate your lab viscosity with goVisc and radically improve throughput speed. Automating workflows enables new and improved processes whilst freeing up your valuable resource to be deployed elsewhere.
Offline sampling takes time. And is vulnerable to error. With goVisc no one has to waste time fiddling with samples or offsetting for errors. And with full integration into robotic systems, your lab can run day and night 24/7 with minimal user intervention.
Dip And Read
At over 300mm length and only 15mm diameter, the goVisc can reach deep into vessels and glassware measuring viscosity on contact. No extraction of the fluid is necessary.And becuase the measurement happens every second with high levels of precision and accuracy, you can eliminate handler-induced variability and gain full confidence in the data.
AUTOMATION
For full viscosity automation, the goVisc head supports direct mounting onto robotic systems. The contoured sensor profile also promotes easy draining for automated read and wash cycles.
Whether its a fast, high throughput viscosity measurement facility, or even just a simple bench top system, the goVisc has all the features for simple integration and unrivalled performance.
Application Note
24/7 Viscosity Supports Downstream Process Scale-Up
A filtration and washing robot with viscosity control was deployed for GlaxoSmithKline in order to improve their understanding of downstream processing operations.
The goVisc is mounted on a robotic arm designed to move between measuring a sample and a cleaning station. During the process the formulation is modified, re-measured, and then cleaned in a continuous cycle. By combining real-time machine vision with robotics, this state-of-the-art platform collects…
Precision.
Speed.
Freedom.
Unlike rotational lab viscometers you don’t need a specific fluid sample size to make the measurement: the goVisc will return the same reading whether the fluid is being measured in a test-tube or a tank. Drastically increasing reproducibility. There are also no moving parts or areas where fluid can become trapped.
This combination of features underpins the goVisc’s versatility, creating a speed and freedom of use not found in any other technologies.
Liberate The Lab
goVisc measures every second. So it opens a world of opportunities. You can track reaction progress in real-time or catch anomalies as they happen, preventing off-spec product or failed batches.
It is lean and compact, but rich with features for the fast in-situ viscosity measurement of small fluid volumes. And a tip-mounted thermometer gives the simultaneous reading of both viscosity and temperature, making it ideal for lab automation systems.
Plug and Play
All goViscs have Plug and Play connectivity so they may be connected directly to a computer or laptop via the VP100 connection box. The goVisc sensor and the VP100 are both powered by the computer USB port.
Hydramotion’s ViscoLink software running on the PC, laptop or tablet allows management of all sensor data as well as recording and logging of measurements in real-time.
The goVisc can also be combined with a VP250 Processor for a complete and versatile viscosity solution.
