The TA Instruments ARES-G2 is a premier high-performance rheometer that provides the most accurate rheological data over a wide range of conditions. The ARES-G2 is routinely used in leading R&D labs and manufacturing sites to relate the material chemistry to its processability and end-use properties for a wide variety of materials ranging from proteins to polymers, coatings to composites, and everything in between.

Unlike competitive systems, the ARES-G2 is the only rheometer equipped with the industry-leading separate motor and transducer technology (SMT) which eliminates any inertial contributions and provides users with unrivaled data accuracy over a wide range of test conditions. Coupled with fast-responding, uniform, accurate temperature control, the ARES-G2 allows users to perform rheological measurements while replicating processing and end-use conditions. These measurements thus enable users to optimize the processability of new and existing materials in a time- and cost-effective manner, define robust CQAs and ensure that the finished products meet the end-use KPIs around product performance, consumer perception and storage stability. The ARES-G2 accessories are easy to install and use, and they provide an added dimension to rheological measurements. ARES-G2 users gain detailed insights into a material’s micro-structure and relate it to the end-use properties, helping push the boundaries of materials research and development in pure and applied sciences.

The ARES-G2 platform offers an array of features including:

  • Unrivaled data accuracy over a wide range of conditions simulating processing and end-use conditions
    • Only rheometer with true SMT technology that completely eliminates inertia, even under the most challenging conditions
    • Accurate and fast-responding temperature control
  • Complete data transparency and control with access to raw data that can be plotted in TRIOS or easily exported for processing in third-party software
  • Future proof with fully integrated DMA mode for solids testing (bending, tension, compression) and advanced techniques such as:
      • Arbitrary wave
      • Large Amplitude Oscillatory Shear (LAOS)
      • Fourier Transform (FT) Rheology Analysis
      • Orthogonal Superposition (OSP) and 2 Dimensional Small Amplitude Oscillatory Shear (2D-SAOS) techniques
      • Optimally windowed-chirp (OWCh)
