INSIDE VISCOTEK
Complete DSV Systems
For Dilute Solution Viscosity, Viscotek takes pride in being the only manufacturer capable of supplying you with a comprehensive system solution, regardless of your viscosity testing requirements.
 
Nanoparticle and Protein Sizing
Viscotek is proud to introduce its range of Dynamic Light Scattering Detectors featuring rapid, accurate and sensitive sizing for proteins, biomolecules, nanoparticles & polymers and a pair of outstanding technologies unique to Viscotek.
 
Application Notes
Our database of GPC/SEC application notes explain the use of concentration, viscometer and light scattering detectors to obtain a distribution of absolute molecular weight, size and intrinsic viscosity, as well as information on conformation, aggregation, branching and copolymer composition.
 
Tetra Detector Array
A revolutionary, integrated multiple-detector device designed for the characterization of natural and synthetic polymers and copolymers, proteins, protein conjugates, excipients and other macromolecules. Comprised of modular Refractive Index, Ultra-Violet, Low Angle Light Scattering and Viscometer detectors.
Viscotek Products
Viscotek Products
Viscotek specializes in solution technologies for macromolecular characterization. More specifically, Viscotek manufactures Gel Permeation Chromatography (GPC), Dilute Solution Viscosity (DSV) and Dynamic Light Scattering (DLS) detectors, hardware, software, peripherals and accessories for the characterization of natural and synthetic polymers, biopolymers, proteins, protein conjugates, aggregates and nanoparticles.
Viscotek Product line
Gel Permeation Chromatography
Our Gel Permeation Chromatography product line includes proprietary columns and standards, liquid chromatography pumps, degassers and autosamplers, concentration detectors, four-capillary differential viscometers, light scattering detectors and powerful OmniSEC GPC software for ambient, elevated and high-temperature applications. Our market-leading integrated Triple and Tetra Detector Arrays (TDA’s) set the standard for GPC and have quickly become the preferred technology for macromolecular characterization, while our turn-key Evolution RImax, Vista 270max, Apex TDAmax and Summit HT-GPC systems have become the benchmarks for performance and reliability. By offering a comprehensive product line, Viscotek strives to provide complete GPC solutions for our customer’s applications, an approach that has made us the global leaders in advanced GPC detectors, software and systems.

Dilute Solution Viscosity
The Dilute Solution Viscosity line features the Viscotek Relative Viscometer, the world’s only solution viscometer that measures the viscosity of the sample and the solvent simultaneously. Designed as a superior alternative to old glass capillary-tube technology, the relative viscometer provides better sensitivity, accuracy and precision and mates seamlessly with an autosampler, a Semi-automated Sample Preparation (SASP) Module or the Vortex Automated Sample Preparation and Delivery Module to automate the sample testing process, increase sample though-put and enhance operator safety. Controlled by our ARV software and used throughout the world in demanding QA/QC applications by companies like as Eastman, Wellman and OxyChem, our Autosampler, SASP and Vortex relative viscometer systems have become the standardized testing instruemnts for applications such as PET, PVC and Nylon.

Dynamic Light Scattering
Patented single-mode fiber technology differentiates our Dynamic Light Scattering detectors from those of the competition. Featured in both the Model 802 batch instrument and the Horizon High-throughput plate reader along with Dual-attenuation Technology (DAT) and temperature ramping capability, single-mode fiber technology provides greater sensitivity and allows smaller sample volumes (< 2 ml) and lower concentrations (< .1 mg/ml) while still providing accurate molecular size (Rh), polydispersity and molecular weight. Recognized within the protein characterization and crystallography laboratories as the premier DLS instruments for screening and high through-put applications, the Viscotek Model 802 and Horizon are quickly gaining ground in the academic and industrial markets.
Complete Gel Permeation Chromatography (GPC) / Size Exclusion Chromatography (SEC) systems for the characterization of natural and synthetic polymers, proteins, conjugates and excipients. Integrated Triple and Tetra Detector Arrays (TDAs) featuring Low Angle Light Scattering (LALS) detectors, four capillary differential viscometer detectors, refractometers and UV/VIS detectors; in a single experiment, obtain absolute molecular weight, molecular size, intrinsic viscosity, conformation, branching, aggregation and copolymer composition. Flow Injection Polymer Analysis (FIPA) for fast, accurate and precise average molecular weight, size and intrinsic viscosity in routine QA/QC and process control. Automated Dilute Solution Viscosity (DSV) systems provide relative, inherent, and intrinsic viscosity.
