This general application note introduces the importance of biopolymers in different applications. Rheolaser Master measures viscoelasticity at rest, which allows it to distinguish between purely viscous and viscoelastic samples, even if the latter ones are very weakly structured.

This application note shows how Rheolaser Master can be used for the screening of different formulations of ceramic inks. Indeed, the viscoelastic properties of the humid gel during a sol-gel process are in good correlation with the final dried material (after 72h). The formulator can make decisions much earlier, which improves and fasten the development of new materials.

Human platelet lysates are a part of blood donations, which can be used as a cell culture medium, with advantages for proliferation such as human growth factors. However, with the addition of calcium ions (e.g. with cell culture liquids), the lysate forms a gel, which inhibits proper cell proliferation. These gels are very weak and practically not measurable with a normal rheometer. Rheolaser Master measures at rest and without contact, which allows monitoring of the gelation properties even for very weak gels.

This application note shows how Rheolaser Master can help in the conception of bio-inks. Bio inks are complex mixtures of polymers, cell cultures, and cells. The right viscoelastic properties are necessary for good proliferation, but of course also for good printing.

Thanks to the disposable cells used in Rheolaser Master, corrosive and hazardous samples can be studied easily and accurately. Several examples are shown.

This application note shows, how the pot-life time can easily determine thanks to the disposable measurement cells of Rheolaser Master.

This application note shows how Rheolaser Master using the innovative TCS algorithm can help to determine the optimal gelling agent concentration. A gelation matrix is proposed that allows listing easily the important parameters a formulator must know when facing a new or unknown gelling agent.

Some biopolymers are used in pharmaceutical applications, such as HPMC for tablet manufacturing. This application note shows the different aspects, such as the impact of concentration, salt, and excipients on the gelation behavior during an increasing temperature ramp.

This application note shows how Rheolaser Master can help in the development of low-fat or fat-reduced products by targeting reference values of viscoelasticity.

This application note shows several applications using mixtures of biopolymers. The first example demonstrates a phenomenon called synergy, which is the enhancement of gel properties by a mixture of two polymers, which alone would not have such properties.

This application note demonstrates the different aspects of carrageenan gelation such as the influence of concentration, carrageenan type, salt concentration, and salt type on gelation behavior.

This application note explains the principle of the Time-Cure Superposition theory, which allows the precise and simple determination of the gel point.

With an increasing offer, selecting the right protein can represent a bottleneck in new product development. Impacting many other properties (emulsifying, foaming…), protein solubility is essential to develop food formulations matching the current standards.

To guarantee performance, many industrial products need to be refreshed or “well shaken” before use. This process is fundamental for many applications: coverage in paint, drug dosage, the taste of beverages, and pesticide dose…. Product resuspension can be a requirement or just a smart and easy way to extend shelf-life. (TDNS_08)

Foams are very common in everyday life, and constitute many food products, cleaning products, hygiene, and health formulations but are also used for construction materials (heat and noise insulation, shock absorbers) or for light-weight materials in aerospace/automotive fields.

Rehydrated powders, like milk and protein powders, are widely used in many food products. Food powder offers longer preservation and a lower carbon footprint (less water
carried/shipped). The final product’s quality and stability are highly related to the food powder’s complete rehydration and redispersion process.

This application note follows the whole workflow of oilfield work starting with the optimization of drilling fluids and drilling fluid additives, cement setting during completion and finally the characterization of polymers used in the last step called enhanced oil recovery. These polymers help to improve the recovery by creating a highly viscous or gel-like material in the oil reservoir. The right gelation time at the right place is crucial for the success of oil recovery.
