Tabletop Scanning Electron Microscopes (SEM) - EM-30 Series
The EM-30 Series available from COXEM is a high-resolution tabletop scanning electron microscope ……...
Anton Paar has launched two advanced models of the MCR Evolution series — the MCR 702e MultiDrive and MCR 702e Space MultiDrive. These are the most versatile commercially available rheometers.
Apart from all standard rheological test modes, it is possible to load additional lower drive units. This implies that the user can perform the rheological test using two torque transducers and drive units simultaneously. This offers multiple possibilities for the research.
The system has no limitations concerning measuring systems, accessories, used test modes, temperature devicesand measurement accuracy. Furthermore, MCR 702e Space MultiDrive offers the highest working space to enable simple working with accessories and additional tools. This makes it the system of choice to envelop all possible rheological applications for now and for future requirements.

Key Features
One Rheometer, All Rheological Working Modes
The combination of two air-bearing-supported rotational drive units supports the user to execute rheological measurements in Combined Motor Transducer (CMT) mode and the Separate Motor Transducer (SMT) mode. The use of the single air-bearing-supported EC motor in the CMT mode helps make the most of the motor’s real-time position control (TruStrain™) and carry out “classic” stress-controlled tests.
The SMT mode involves operating one motor solely as a torque transducer, while the other motor is only used as a drive unit, to obtain the purest rheological results even in the transient regime of the measurement (for example, stress relaxation, start-up shear) and over a wide array of amplitude and frequency in oscillatory measurements.
Thanks to all the working modes of MCR 702e MultiDrive and MCR 702e Space MultiDrive, these instruments complete the successful MCR series and contribute to turning the MCR rheometers into the most reliable instruments in scientific rheological investigations.

Push Back the Limits of Material Characterization with Counter-Movement Mode
In the counter-movement mode, both air-bearing-supported EC motors are used as drive units andas torque transducers. Both the motors can be easily set to move in opposite directions for making a fixed stagnation plane in a sample for advanced material structure analysis under shear using the microscope.
This mode is also employed with a universal extension fixture for extension tests ranging to the lowest measured torques. When it comes to speed, the counter-movement mode just “doubles the score,” reaching a maximum speed difference of 6000 rpm, which remarkably widens the shear range for high shear applications.

Ready for DMA in Torsion, Tension, Bending, Compressionand More
An additional lower linear drive can be inserted instead of the lower rotational drive to perform DMA in bending or compression mode using measuring systems like the cantilever, three-point-bendingor parallel plates.
Additionally, together with geometrics for films, fibersand rectangular samples, the linear drive can be employed to perform DMA in tension while the upper rotational drive can be employed to execute DMA in torsion both within a single test definition.
The linear drive also has the ability to perform thermomechanical analysis, creep and creep recovery testsand relaxation tests.

The Best now Better: The Device for Applications that were Previously Unthinkable
The new MCR 702e Space MultiDrive has been engineered to offer an exclusive maximized workspace below the rheometer support plate and on both sides of the instrument. This enables easy installation of accessories and also easy integration with additional external setups ideal for advanced material characterization.
For example, MCR 702e Space MultiDrive enables users to integrate confocal microscopy with rheology. Furthermore, the separate electronics box of the rheometer enables the rheometer to be set up in a compact space or in a laboratory glovebox, even when using inert gas (nitrogen, argon) atmosphere, for example, for high-temperature measurements on samples with a specific hazard level.

Measure and Control the Temperature Where it Matters
The system enables the control ofthe greatest effect of all, that is, the temperature, by using highly accurate temperature control units in association with innovative optoelectronic technology from Anton Paar.
The technology facilitates contact-free transmission based on light emission and photovoltaic effect. The feature enables temperature determination without impacting the torque sensitivity in Separate Motor Transducer (SMT) mode, including counter-movement mode.
The straightforward positioning of the sensor in the measuring system is very close to the sample, about 1 mm apart, lowering the possible offsets between the sample temperature and the temperature measured at the sensor. This facilitates precise determination of the sample temperature even during step or ramp-like temperature changes.

More than 200 Accessories and Smart Features to Fit all of the Users’ Applications
MCR 702e MultiDrive and MCR 702e Space MultiDrive are all set to be loaded with any measuring system, temperature deviceand/or application-specific accessory known from the Anton Paar MCR series to perform regular and advanced rheological analyses of the sample.
The patented Toolmaster™ feature automates recognition and configuration of all connected devices and measuring systems. Furthermore, the QuickConnect function facilitates the single-handed connection of the measuring systems. Both features ensure the highest flexibility and minimum work required to suit the configuration to the user’s needs.
