Advanced rheology instrumentation for coating & dispersion formulation
The Technology Precisometer is a Radboud University spin-out developing next-generation rheological instrumentation for industrial coatings and polymer dispersions. Our platform combines precision force measurement with advanced signal processing to extract complete viscoelastic fingerprints from minimal sample volumes.
Key Capabilities:
Measurement of Storage (G') and Loss (G'') moduli across a wide frequency range (0.1–10,000 Hz).
Frequency-dependent viscosity characterization.
Concentration-dependent rheological profiling.
Why It Matters for BASF
Predictive Power: unlike single-point viscosity, our frequency-dependent data correlates directly with flow, leveling, and sag resistance.
Development Speed: Small sample requirements and automated workflows accelerate screening cycles and rheology modifier development.
Scalability: High-throughput compatibility supports both early R&D and manufacturing Quality Control.
Proposed Partnership We are looking for a technical validation partnership with no immediate commercial expectations. Our goal is to learn from your expertise to ensure our technology solves genuine industry problems.
Suggested Next Steps:
Technical Discussion: Meet with Dispersions & Resins scientists to understand specific challenges.
Validation: Test 2–3 representative formulation systems using our technology.
Feasibility: Assess the technology for integration into BASF's R&D or QC workflows.
About Hydrosome Labs
Hydrosome Labs is a biotechnology company that specializes in ultrafine bubble technology. The company has developed a patented process called Hydrosome H2O, which utilizes hydrodynamic cavitation to create stable, microscopic structures known as Hydrosomes. Unlike conventional nanobubbles, these ultrafine bubbles are designed to remain active in solution for more than a year. By leveraging their unique size, concentration, and electrostatic properties, Hydrosomes operate on an attract-and-deliver mechanism, improving the transport and bioavailability of nutrients, vitamins, and gases directly to cells and tissues. This chemical-free innovation allows for the modification of water to enhance the performance and efficacy of water-based solutions across various industries.
The technology provides significant value to partners in sectors such as personal care, functional beverages, precision fermentation, and controlled environment agriculture. By enabling more efficient nutrient uptake and hydration, Hydrosome H2O helps manufacturers improve product performance, increase yields, and reduce reliance on chemicals, thereby minimizing environmental impact and streamlining supply chains. The company, which is based in Westmont, Illinois, operates on a business-to-business model, licensing its technology to firms seeking to enhance their product offerings. Hydrosome Labs supports its scientific approach with extensive research and collaborations with clinical research laboratories and academic investigators.
