HTR 7000: The automated rheometer workflow

Load. Set. Go.

Automation is the key for future innovation and productivity gains. Automating lab workflows boosts productivity by accelerating routine tasks, allowing scientists to focus on complex work. It ensures repeatability and consistency in results, fostering innovation through hands-free testing and rapid data analysis. With a shortage of skilled workers, automation helps maintain efficiency and reduce operator dependency, while also enhancing safety by reducing exposure to hazardous substances. 

Automated workflows for superior lab performance

The HTR 7000 performs fully automated, traceable rheological measurements – from sample preparation to cleaning – eliminating up to 14 manual steps and freeing up entire shifts of operator time. Designed to accelerate innovation through seamless lab workflow automation, it enables 24/7 operation with zero downtime thanks to its fully automated rheometer design. Its storage capacity of up to 60 samples offers unmatched walkaway time, while the system supports full digitalisation of the lab environment. By eliminating manual handling, it also enhances repeatability and safety. Backed by global support and a three-year warranty, the HTR 7000 sets a new standard in reliable, unattended rheological testing.

Innovative features for reliable results

Automated sample preparation and measurement ensure dependable, precise results every time. Integrated tools like sample management, barcode reading, trimming, and LIMS connectivity guarantee SOP compliance and complete traceability – even supporting AI model training with image documentation. The optional dual rheometer setup enables parallel measurements, saving time and maximising throughput with consistent performance.

Developed to meet the high-precision demands of the polymer industry, HTR 7000’s fully automated trimming tool is redefining sample preparation across multiple sectors. By eliminating manual variability, it delivers unmatched reproducibility (e.g. below ±2% for polyethylene samples) and ensures consistent sample quality with minimal exposure to atmosphere. Today, it's trusted not only in polymer workflows but also in applications ranging from personal care and adhesives to paints and food.

Trust your results – no matter if you're taking on solid, paste-like, or dispensable low-viscosity samples. The HTR 7000 is suitable for all sample types measured with plate-plate or cone-plate measurement geometries. Customise the HTR 7000 with cleaning stations, various racks, geometry pairs (CP, PP), or an optional tempered rack for temperature control – tailored to any workflow or project requirement.
