Hiding the real data!

During a rheological experiment, the quality of the data can be affected by:

• Samples slipping, foaming, slumping.
• Samples flowing out of the gap (edge failure).
• Samples decomposing.
• Performance envelope of your instrument.

How do you know your rheological data is real? Unattended operation of a rheometer is the norm in today’s laboratory. Once the experiment is complete, how can you verify the accuracy of your data?

Some instrument vendors make it difficult to have confidence in the results. Components of the raw data, important for proper interpretation of the results, are unavailable to the operator.

TA Instruments takes the guesswork out of data interpretation. Only TA gives users the ability to click on any data point and observe the raw waveform, and sample image.

• Afraid your sample is flowing out of the gap? You’ll see it with TA Instruments’ new sample viewer (Figure 1 & 2).

Approaching the limits of instrument performance? Are the waveforms linear? Are the waveforms noisy? You’ll know because the waveforms are stored with each data point (Figure 3).
