Enzymatic power monitoring: choose a viscometer that's up for the challenge

To measure the activity of the cellulase solution an efficient technique is needed to control the manufacturing process and ensure the final quality. The technique called DNSA method, based on the reduction of the viscosity of a CMC solution in contact with the enzyme is one of the most efficient, but requires a viscometer whose performance is up to the challenge.

The solution goes through Sofraser Needle, the inventor of the vibrating type at resonant frequency MIVI viscometer. For this type of project, the small size of the needle, the active part of the viscometer, as well as its high sensitivity offers an original and automated solution.

Half a dozen patents in which MIVI is used as a reference for the measurement of enzymatic power

Since the early 1990s, the MIVI sensor has been integrated into multiple product developments allowing the filing of half a dozen patents in which the Sofraser viscometer is used as a reference for the measurement of enzymatic power.\

What they say about the MIVI viscosity measurement:

“The analysis method with the MIVI sensor is the most efficient. The accuracy of the enzymatic activity perfectly matches our need, the sample volume is minimal and the operators appreciate the ease of cleaning the needle.” – Enzyme laboratory researcher NOVO Nordisk
