CaBER® Upgrades
Over five years ago Cambridge Polymer Group invented the Capillary Breakup Extensional Rheometer (CaBER®).
CPG is pleased to announce a range of enhancements that greatly improve the flexibility of the instrument and the quality of the data generated.These enhancements are designed to interface with the existing commercial CaBER® currently marketed by Thermo Haake.
Enhancements
- Enhanced Resolution
- New data acquisition system improves theoretical resolution to <0.4 μm
- Conductivity Determination of Break-up
- By adding a conductivity sensor between the plates a measure of the breakup-time can be obtained in situations where the laser micrometer is not sufficient, such as for very-low viscosity fluids and for unusual deformation modes.
- Synchronized Video Acquisition
- A separate software modules runs in parallel with the CaBER® software to allow capture of images synchronized to the CaBER® data.
- Black and White
- Maximum frame rate 100fps (720x280 pixels)
- Minimum shutter time 0.5 ms
- Maximum recommended frames 200
