We prefer to test aqueous suspensions or colloidal solutions in Taylor-Couette shear cells with double-gap (gap width 200 or 400 μm; 1.2 μL or 3.5 μL sample volume) to reduce the influence of surface tension on the reading. If test surfaces need to be modified, we use plate-plate shear cells. Surfaces can be coated with biological and non-biological substances, or custom designed new plates can be printed.
