A new era in rheometry: Anton Paar’s next-generation MCR Series

19 Mar, 2026

Building on its industry-leading legacy in rheometry, Anton Paar has unveiled its next generation of modular compact rheometers (MCRs), setting new benchmarks for precision, speed, intelligence, and adaptability in material characterisation. 

The most precise rheometer: With minimum torque down to 0.2 nNm, the new MCR series enables viscosity measurement of low-viscosity samples even at the lowest volumes. With improved electronics and data acquisition, even the fastest UV-curing processes of hydrogels or dental composites can be monitored – opening the door to new experiments and maximising confidence in every data point.

The fastest rheometer: The new rheometer series boosts throughput for a faster return on investment. It has an unprecedented focus on productivity, with next-generation electronics delivering faster results, lightning-fast boot-up time, and one-handed measuring geometry coupling with QuickConnect.

The smartest rheometer: Intelligent automation streamlines complex analyses. An integrated touchscreen allows users to prepare directly at the instrument, Toolmaster automatically recognises accessories, and electronic leveling provides additional built-in safeguards. With the RheoCompass software, you achieve the gold standard: the highest category of compliance with authority regulations – starting with 21 CFR Part 11 compliance and incorporating ALCOA++, GMP, and cGMP principles. 

The most adaptable rheometer: A truly modular architecture supports the industry’s broadest accessory range and all major test modes – from powder rheometry to tribology, rheo-optics, and syringe testing – across the widest temperature span. Whatever users envision, the MCR evolves with their needs, supported by Anton Paar’s comprehensive qualification services and documentation.

Backed by over 16,000 installations worldwide and a global support network in more than 35 countries, Anton Paar’s next-generation rheometers reaffirm the company’s legacy of innovation and service excellence.
