Micro-Visco-Amylo-Graph
Intended use
The Brabender Micro Visco-Amylo-Graph measures temperature-dependent and time-dependent viscosity properties, especially of flours, starches and other materials.
Furthermore, it also provides you with information on enzyme activity (α-amylses).
 
A quick, precise 2-in-1 solution
The Micro Visco-Amylo-Graph combines the functions of the Viscograph-E and Amylograph-E in one device.
Thanks to small sample sizes of 5–20g, plus a higher heating and cooling rate, the measurement time is shorter than that of traditional methods.
 
  • Small sample sizes
  • Shorter measurement time
  • Convenient measurement and analysis software
  • Programmable speed and temperature profiles
  • 2 in 1: Combines the functions of the Amylograph-E and Viscograph-E

Micro-Visco-Amylo-Graph

Quantity

  • Principle

    The measuring principle is similar to that of the Viscograph-E: a starch-water or flour-water suspension is heated in a rotating bowl and cooled down again, both under controlled conditions. Use the standard procedure (heating - holding - cooling) or save your own temperature profiles.

    The special geometry of the paddle ensures good mixing of the sample - there is no sedimentation of starch particles. Temperature measurement directly within the sample makes it easy to always precisely assign the temperature to the current viscosity.
