LAST CHANCE – Special Model 900 Viscometer Pricing!

Model 900 Viscometer Comparative Data

Recently, a customer did a series of measurements on a sample of xanthan gum using the OFITE Model 900 Viscometer* and another competitive model from a well-known manufacturer. The results are amazing! The OFITE Model 900 measurements are right on target with the competitive model AND the Model 900 was able to capture lower shear readings (.01 s-1) than the "low-shear" competition. At 1/10th the cost of the competitive model, the Model 900 is a great investment!

Visit our web site for more details on the Model 900 Viscometer.
