Faculty, postdocs, and graduate students will attend training on using the new rheometer on Wednesday, Oct. 11, from 10:30 a.m. to 11:30 a.m. in the Food Science Building, 2650 N. Young Ave. You are invited to do so.
A rheometer is a device that can be used to measure the rheological properties of materials. This allows measurements of viscosity, storage and loss modulus, creep and recovery, yield stress, and thixotropy, which are important in several food and non-food applications.
Ali Ubeyitogullari, assistant professor of food engineering with appointments in the School of Food Engineering and the School of Bioagricultural Engineering, will facilitate training in Rooms D1 and D2 of the Food Science Building. Anton Paar technical personnel will provide training. Ubeitgarari conducts research at the Arkansas Agricultural Experiment Station, a research division of the University of Arkansas System College of Agriculture.
“With its wide torque range, the Anton Paar MCR 302e rheometer allows us to obtain accurate rheological measurements from a variety of materials with high precision,” says Ubeyitogullari. “The instrument is also equipped with an advanced Peltier system, a temperature control technology that can heat and cool samples with high precision from minus 50 degrees Celsius to 220 degrees Celsius.”
To participate in a training session, please contact Ubeyitogullari at uali@uark.edu. The purchase of the rheometer was supported in part by an equipment grant from the Arkansas Institute for Biological Sciences.
The University of Arkansas System College of Agriculture is an equal opportunity, equal access, and affirmative action institution. If you need a reasonable accommodation to participate or require materials in an alternate format, please contact Ubeyitogullari as soon as possible by email at uali@uark.edu.
