The IVA Versa is a fully-automated intrinsic viscosity analyzer that provides accurate
and reproducible results for a wide range of polymers. It is a versatile instrument that
can be used to analyse PET, polyester, PVC, and PMMA, among others. The IVA Versa is easy
to use and eliminates user contact with solvents, making it a safe and efficient way to
measure intrinsic viscosity (IV).
The IVA Versa complies with the ASTM D5225 (Standard Test Method for Measuring Solution
Viscosity of Polymers with a Differential Viscometer). It is currently in the process of
being included in the ISO 1628-1 as an alternative to the current method based on Ubbelohde
glass capillaries.
The IVA Versa software automates the entire intrinsic viscosity analysis process, from
filling the vials with solvent to dissolving and injecting the sample. The only task required
of the end user is to weigh the sample in the vial and place it in the instrument. From that
point on, the instrument takes over and performs all the necessary steps without any manual intervention.
The IVA Versa software is a virtual instrument, which means that it can be operated from a computer.
This allows users to monitor the progress of the analysis and receive feedback from the instrument's
detectors.
Benefits:
Gain a competitive edge by providing accurate and reproducible intrinsic viscosity data
Save time and money by eliminating manual steps
Improve safety by eliminating user contact with solvents
Increase productivity by using a versatile and easy-to-use instrument
IVA Versa is a fully-automated instrument, which means that users do not
need to handle solvents manually. This reduces the risk of exposure to hazardous
materials and makes the instrument safer to use.
Solventless design for safety and efficiency.
Wide range of polymers can be analyzed
Different sample preparation options
Simple to operate and reliable instrument
Self-cleaning design based on dual capillary relative viscometer, which means
that it does not require regular cleaning by the user. This makes the instrument
easy to maintain and keeps it in good working condition for longer periods of time.
The IVA Versa achieves high precision results through automation. This means that
the instrument is less likely to make mistakes, which gives users confidence in the
accuracy of their results.
Compatible with most organic solvents such as decaline, chloroform, tetrahydrofuran,
tri-chlorobenzene, and others, which gives users flexibility in their choice of solvents.
This makes the instrument versatile and adaptable to different applications.
