Description
IVA is an automated instrument for intrinsic viscosity analysis of polymeric materials in solution. This compact instrument integrates a robust dual-capillary relative viscometer combined with a high-temperature autosampler with capacity for 42 samples. IVA can analyze a wide range of polymers with IV values from 0.5dL/g up to over 40dL/g, such as polyolefins, PET, PAN, PMMA, and others, by using almost any organic solvent.
The careful design of the heated compartment and transfer lines ensure that no cold spots are found and that even the most challenging polymers can be analysed.
Features - Full automation of dissolution and analysis processes. No manual solvent handling.
- No need for accurate weighing when the optional IR detector is used
- High-temperature autosampler for dissolution of samples in the same instrument.
- Self-cleaning design based on dual capillary relative viscometer.
- Simple to operate and reliable instrument.
- High precision achieved by automation
- Up to 42 samples can be analyzed sequentially without user intervention
- Analysis of high and ultrahigh molar mass polymers
- Low solvent consumption
- Compatible with most organic solvents such as decaline, chloroform, tetrahydrofuran, tri-chlorobenzene, and others
