Overview

RheoSense develops compact viscometers and rheometers built on a chip (VROC) that use MEMS and microfluidics to measure viscosity with very small sample volumes. Their m-VROC and microVISC instruments provide direct readings of viscosity and rheological properties in a user-friendly package. The core idea is to combine a microfabricated viscometer and rheometer on a single chip to enable fast, precise measurements with minimal sample consumption. RheoSense differentiates itself from competitors through patented VROC technology, a focus on very small samples, and a strong footprint in biotechnology, pharmaceutical, and protein therapeutics markets, with adoption by Fortune Global 500 companies and leading research universities. The company aims to widen access to accurate viscometry and rheology for drug development, quality control, and research by offering easy-to-use, reliable instruments that reduce sample requirements and processing time.
