We see from your search that you're looking for information on the term "Rheometer",
and we have a large number of manufacturers' news releases and technical articles here on Laboratorytalk which will be of interest.
Let me be your guide.
Start with
the news release Freeman Technology extends US presence from
Freeman Technology, which we summarised at the time by saying "Since taking up the role of application specialist for Freeman Technology in the US, John Yin has established a base in New York from where the company is providing applications and
technical support".
A few weeks before,
we featured the news release Cell allows automated shear testing of powders from
Freeman Technology: "The new 1ml shear cell accessory extends the range of shear cells for the FT4 powder rheometer, adding to the existing 85ml and 10ml capacity systems".
In July 2007, we covered the news from Freeman Technology
concerning its FT4 powder rheometer
- take a look at Powder tester is at heart of analytical laboratory
which says: "The FT4 universal powder tester unifies three methodologies in a single instrument - the measurement of bulk, shear and dynamic properties - to deliver a comprehensive picture of powder behaviour".
Take a look also at the news release from Malvern Instruments, Rheometer aids in search for the perfect silk,
as well as Measurement of shear properties in powders from Freeman Technology,
and Freeman wins Queen's award for enterprise from Freeman Technology.
