Thermo Fisher Scientific Launches New Modular Rheometer
The Successor to the Thermo Scientific HAAKE RheoStress Series Now Available

Karlsruhe, GERMANY and Düsseldorf, GERMANY (October 25, 2007) – Thermo Fisher Scientific Inc., the world leader in serving science, today announced at the International Plastics and Rubber Trade Fair K 2007 the launch of the Thermo Scientific HAAKE RheoStress 6000, the latest modular rheometer and successor to the Thermo Scientific HAAKE RheoStress series. The new rheometer is focused on applications in research & development and quality control.

The modular HAAKE RheoStress 6000 combines proven technology plus the latest innovations from the high end Thermo Scientific HAAKE MARS rheometer. Improved normal force measurements and specifications as well as broad application solutions including UV curing, construction material cell and pressure cell emphasize the rheometer’s broad field of applications.

“Investment protection is more than just a slogan,” says Markus Schreyer, Vice President and general manager of Thermo Fisher Scientific’s material characterization business unit “The HAAKE RheoStress 6000 is fully compatible with existing accessories of previous RheoStress models. This makes it easier to upgrade to the new generation in rheology without making a huge investment. Thanks to the HAAKE MARS technology inside, our customers can now benefit from the newest trends in technology developments.”

The measuring and evaluation software for viscometers and rheometers, the Thermo Scientific HAAKE RheoWin, is continuously aligned to customer needs and requirements. The software is customized to offer convenient operation with default settings for beginners and full access to all relevant measuring parameters for advanced rheologists. An optional tool ensuring compliance with FDA 21 CFR Part 11 is offered as well as several polymer software modules: The TTS (Time Temperature Superposition) module to generate master curves and the spectra module to calculate relaxation spectra. In addition, an MWD (Molecular Weight Distribution) is offered.

More information on the new HAAKE RheoStress 6000 as well as new trends in rheometry and compounding, or measuring mixer & extruder systems, is provided in hall 10, booth A60 at K 2007.
