Analysis of a Coupled-Mass Microrheometer

摘要: Many large companies, especially those involved in chemical synthesis, for instance that manufacture personal care products or pharmaceuticals, are increasingly reliant on high throughput screening techniques to develop their next generation products. This may be facilitate product optimisation quality control of existing processes. these viscoelastic nature and require sophisticated rheological determine properties (Hansen & Quake, 2003). However, current not well suited characterisation the generally small volumes liquid available (Kumble, Recently a number devices, known as microrheometers, have been fabricated with ability samples fluids (Cheneler, 2011, Crecea et al., 2009, Christopher 2010). These devices designed dynamically manipulate isolated drops fluid, usually contained bridges 2010), form is easily integrated into commercial automated process, precluding highthroughput analysis.
