KSV NIMA ISR
The KSV NIMA Interfacial Shear Rheometer provides an extremely sensitive method for measuring the viscoelastic properties of films at fluid interfaces (gas/liquid and liquid/liquid).

Features:
- The most sensitive interfacial rheometer available—it is able to measure very weak elastic and viscous moduli of surfaces and interfaces. The high sensitivity of the method is due to fact that the low inertia hydrophobic probe is moved by magnetic field without mechanical connections. The high sensitivity is crucial in many applications, for example with experiments on fatty acids.
- In many applications, such as with biofilms, the long-lasting chemical interactions and film creation kinetics need to be followed in real-time. KSV NIMA ISR is the most suitable instrument for the long-lasting experiments as the probe is floating at the interface, and therefore its location does not demand any adjustments to compensate the influence of evaporation.
- The only interfacial rheometer to enable simultaneous measuring and controlling of surface pressure due to easy integration with KSV NIMA Langmuir Troughs. This makes it possible to correlate rheological data with monolayer surface pressure and phase transitions that are crucial when working with insoluble surfactants.
- Possibility to work with low volumes down to 4.7 mL saves time and cost when working with valuable compounds and subphases.
- Built-in data plotting option with capability of viewing multiple measurement results in one graph. Measured data can easily be exported and converted to a data file that is readable using common plotting software.
