METHOD DEVELOPMENT

Let us apply our team's decades of rheology measurement expertise to help you to develop robust measurement protocols that can support areas including general R&D, formulation development, and production/quality control.

ADVANCED SAMPLE PREP AND HANDLING

We have full wet chemistry and mixing laboratory capabilities available for preparing samples from powders or mixtures of ingredients based on your formulation instructions. We can assist in characterizing the effects of time, temperature, and processing conditions on the rheology of your formulations to support manufacturing scale-up or troubleshooting.

LEVERAGING PARTNERSHIPS

Our close collaboration with local university researchers and rheology instrumentation manufacturers can be leveraged for additional characterization of samples using techniques that include electron microscopy, particle sizing, or rheology combined with scattering techniques.

ISO 9001 REGISTERED

STF Technologies' quality management system is certified to ISO 9001:2015, so you can be assured that you are getting the most reliable rheology measurement services.
