A novel technique for measuring viscosity by NMR.
We have developed and, I am pleased to say, just published a new method for measuring viscosity, by using T1Rho NMR.

We have developed and demonstrated the first practical protocol for making 1, 2 and 3 dimensionally resolved measurements of volumetric metrology.
Lab-Tools performs contract measurements for a number of national and international companies including in the construction industry and oil / well-logging industries.
Our techniques are based on both physical thermodynamics and scattering techniques, and we can apply a range of NMR, X-ray and neutron scattering techniques, as well as the more conventional gas adsorption and thermoporosimetry techniques.
The strength of Lab-Tools in the nano- to micro-scale field is based on a strong record of academic research, combined with extensively applied metrology, and the proven ability to implement novel measurement protocols with appropriate combinations of apparatus, hardware, firmware and software.
Please do contact Dr. Beau Webber Lab-Tools Contact Form if you think these measurement techniques might complement your research studies.
-
We are very pleased to be a partner in academic research, fundable by grants, to which these techniques could provide a novel insight, and leading to further publications in journals.
-
We are also interested in extending the range of these techniques into new fields; please contact us if you have samples that you would be interested in characterising on either an academic research basis, leading to publication, or on a commercially funded basis.
-
If you are developing a new measurement technique that requires novel apparatus, Lab-Tools can apply a powerful set of physical, mathematical and software tools to help realise this instrumentation.
