Viscotek's patented 4-capillary differential viscometer provides a direct measurement
of intrinsic viscosity and allows for the determination of molecular size, conformation
and structure.
Dr. Max Haney - President of Viscotek Corp. - is the inventor of the four capillary
differential viscometer detector. Viscotek remain the world-wide leaders in 4-capilliary
differential viscometer design.
Patented 4 capillary, differential Wheatstone bridge configuration.

- DP Noise Maximum: 0.7 millivolts
- DP Noise Typical: 0.5 millivolts
- DP Drift Typical: 3.0 millivolts/hour
- Sensitivity: 2.0 x 10–5 Specific Viscosity
- Transducer Linearity: 1%
- Shear Rate: 3000 sec–1
In 1982 Max Haney conceived the 4-capillary viscometer and asked a friend to conduct
a market survey. Twenty leading GPC chromatographers were asked if they had need
of a viscometer detector. All 20 said no. Max founded Viscotek anyway and discovered
what inventors through the ages have known: A good invention creates its own market.
This is the guiding philosophy of our founder and is ingrained in the corporate
culture.
