by Steve Carrington
The way in which materials flow or deform when a force is applied can have a direct impact on product performance. While rheology is often perceived as a complex mathematical subject, on a practical level it is relatively easy to grasp. For example, a yogurt with a high yield stress will sit on a spoon, appearing thick and creamy, while its low yield stress counterpart is thin and watery. A paint may be semisolid in a pot, highly viscous, and difficult to stir, but its behavior transforms during brushing to provide even coverage...

| Measurement of Viscosity in a Vertical Falling Ball Viscometer |
| by Ping Yuan and Ben-Yuan Lin
A number of methods are used to measure the viscosity of fluids. These are typically based on one of three phenomena—a moving surface in contact with a fluid, an object moving through a fluid, and fluid flowing through a resistive component. These phenomena utilize three major viscometers in the industry, i.e., a rotating viscometer, a falling-ball viscometer, and a capillary viscometer. The falling ball viscometer typically measures the viscosity of Newtonian liquids and gases. The method applies Newton's law of motion under force balance on a falling sphere ball when it reaches a terminal velocity. In Newton's law of motion for a falling ball, there exist buoyancy force, weight force, and drag force, and these three forces reach a net force of zero. The drag force can be obtained from Stokes' law, which is valid in...

| New Pilot-to-Production Fermentor & Bioreactor |
 |
New Brunswick Scientific has developed a new Sterilizable-in-Place (SIP) fermentor and new SIP bioreactor for benchtop or mobile use, designed for convenient operation, advanced control, and the flexibility to meet changing process needs. The modular design of the BioFlo 510 fermentor and CelliGen 510 bioreactor enables you to easily add optional components at any time. Advanced controls for regulation of up to 32 loops are accessed from the large touchscreen interface. Multiple analog inputs and outputs enable connection of up to 14 external sensors, analyzers and other devices, for optimized process control. A built-in load cell measures vessel volume for precise additions and harvesting; and 24 vessel penetrations allow you to add sprayballs, sensors, and more, wherever convenient for you. Available with 19.5 & 40L vessels.

| An Evaluation of GC Septa Performance in Commonly Used Procedures |
| by Anila I. Khan, Luisa Pereira, and Rob Bunn
The performance and lifetime of the septum depend on the run conditions, which include injector temperature, needle shape, and the solvent used. Failure manifests itself as visible peaks in the chromatogram, poor reproducibility, low sensitivity, and irreversible contamination of the injection liner. Septum bleed can cause extraneous peaks that interfere with the identification and quantification of target analytes...
