Anton Paar Physica MCR 301 is a standard air-bearing low friction oscillatory and rotational rheometer. Can be used to characterize flow and deformation behavior of materials.

Any type or combination of rheological tests, both in rotational and oscillatory mode, are possible with the MCR301 rheometer.
