And it appears Pluto loves us back – its “two-tone heart” has enchanted scientists and the general public alike. But what’s that got to do with analytical science?

Fields & Applications Sample Preparation

Overcoming solvent evaporation/drying during rheological testing on rotational rheometer

This paper shows how using a solvent trap can be used to prevent sample drying/solvent loss during extended testing, helping to ensure that only rheological changes are being measured and not artifacts resulting from drying of the sample at the air/sample interface.
