Viscous liquids are a challenge in every lab that deals with them. Depending on how viscous a liquid is, pipetting is either impossible or it poses several problems that significantly reduce accuracy, ...

Modeling the behavior of liquids is important for a wide range of applications, from industrial processes and medical devices to computer graphics and visual simulations. However, despite many years ...

The physics of liquid aspiration and dispensing make viscous liquid handling tricky. Some liquids (like glycerol) are impossible to accurately pipette manually, and can only be pipetted using an ...

Handling of volumes in the mL range of highly viscous liquids such as 99 % glycerol, detergents or collagen in the laboratory and for analytical purposes has proven difficult, requiring the use of ...

Thick and viscous liquids can create problems when pipetting as they have low elasticity, enter the tip more slowly than other liquids, and often stick to the wall when dispensed. There are, however, ...

Extrusion testing has several applications within the food and other industries, for texture assessment. This method is suitable for viscous liquids or semi-solids, where the product’s rheological ...

Molecular assays necessitate accurate pipetting reagents and samples with a diverse set of properties — including viscous samples that can clog tips, distribute unevenly, and complicate ...

Physicists surprised to find that in specially coated tubes, the more viscous a liquid is, the faster it flows. It's widely known that thick, viscous liquids -- like honey -- flow more slowly than low ...

If a long vertical tube filled with porous material contains a viscous solution, the density of which increases with height as a result of the presence of the dissolved substance, the equilibrium of ...
