Multi-point viscosity measurement at your fingertip: The new rotational viscometer ViscoQC 300 by Anton Paar
Only half a year after the launch of the entry-level rotational viscometer ViscoQC 100, Anton Paar releases the next rotational viscometer, ViscoQC 300: a true all-rounder in multi-point viscosity determination and analysis.
The only touch-screen viscometer ready for immediate start-up right out of the box
Measurements with ViscoQC 300 can be started right away as the instrument is already assembled when delivered. After the instrument is switched on, an intuitive digital leveling function ensures that ViscoQC 300 is always properly aligned, even before, during, and after measurements. Depending on the instrument model (L, R, or H), 4 L or 6 RH spindles are included in the standard delivery. Each spindle is equipped with magnetic coupling to guarantee easy one-handed exchange which makes damage to spindle threads and the instruments’ bearings a thing of the past. Automatic spindle detection by Toolmaster™ prevents manual spindle selection errors, while a built-in automatic guard detection even documents whether a spindle guard is attached or not.
Designed to achieve outstanding results in viscosity determination
Developed for a wide range of applications, ViscoQC 300 ensures the quality of your measured substance – from almost any fluid to semi-solid samples – by delivering fully traceable viscosity results right at your fingertip. Predefined modes/methods on the intuitive 7” color touch screen make operation even more convenient. Time can be saved during measurements as ViscoQC is equipped with the unique TruMode™ and automatically searches a speed to measure an unknown sample.
Convenient management of sample data and results
The internal data storage of ViscoQC 300 is capable of storing up to 999 measurement results. Export directly from the instruments’ data memory as pdf/csv to a USB storage device or via data collection software V-Collect to a PC is possible. Furthermore, measured data can be printed with a page printer (USB or Network) or a USB label printer. Automatic printout directly after measurement is also possible. Further improve your process with the optional sample bar code scanner and data processing via LIMS Bridge software.
Future-proof digital viscometer due to upgradable software packages
Starting from a multi-point viscosity measurement for your actual purpose, ViscoQC 300 is upgradeable with compliance (21 CFR Part 11) and/or additional analysis software to meet all future needs. The compliance software V-Comply adds software features such as audit trail, electronic signature, increased security functions, and more. Each V-Comply delivery includes Anton Paar’s Pharma Qualification Package (PQP) to facilitate the instrument qualification process, especially in the pharmaceutical industry. Both, software and documentation fulfill regulations of 21 CFR Part 11. The additional analysis software V-Curve adds graph, analysis, programmability features, and a yield stress method to your stand-alone ViscoQC 300.
Innovation and quality – this is what ViscoQC stands for.

“The ScanStation is a real-time incubator and colony counting station designed for the pharmaceutical, the agro-food, the cosmetic industries and research. It is the world’s first product centralizing incubation, detection and colony counting of 100, 200 or 300 Petri dishes simultaneously.
In classical Pasteurian microbiology, the Petri dish must be placed in an incubator for 24h and up to 5 days. Then a time-consuming reading operation is performed to count colonies. The operator may notice the presence of invasive or confluent colonies mixed with air bubbles, debris, writings… increasing the margin of error on the final result. The ScanStation provides results as soon as the 6 hours after the beginning of the incubation which is up to 3 times sooner, faster and with inequalled accuracy.”

Malaysia’s healthcare market to reach RM127.9b by 2027, says Fitch Research
KUALA LUMPUR: Malaysia’s healthcare market is expected to grow by 127% to RM127.9bil in 2027 from the RM56.3bil in 2017 as the government pushes ahead with higher public healthcare expenditure, says Fitch Solutions Macro Research.
The research house said on Tuesday the 2019 Budget had proposed an increase in public healthcare expenditure, and this would see the government continuing to push forward with fundamental healthcare initiatives which would be positive for the healthcare market.
Fitch said the social sector, the second largest development expenditure recipient, will receive RM15.2bil. Access to basic services, predominantly education and healthcare will be expanded further in efforts to bridge the urban-rural development gap.
The government allocated RM29bil for the healthcare sub-sector, up 7.8% compared to the 2018 budget, making up almost 10% of the overall budget.
Of that amount, RM2.3bil will be allocated to the health sub-sector mainly for building and maintaining hospitals and health clinics, upgrading the existing healthcare facilities and procurement of medical equipment.
This is in line with the emphasis to provide quality healthcare and increase accessibility to health services.
Fitch Research said the Ministry of Health would provide medicines as well as upgrade and improve the quality of health services at clinics and hospitals, including RM100mil for the National Health Protection Scheme with health screening pilot project for 800,000 people belonging to the B40 group (which refers to the bottom 40% of households with monthly income of RM3, 900 and below).
The increase in the allocation for the supply of drugs, consumables, vaccines and reagents will bring benefits to the patients.
In the past, insufficient funds have resulted in shortages of essential drugs needed to treat diseases, particularly chronic diseases such as hypertens ion, heart disease and diabetes.
Fitch Research said the 2019 Budget signals commitment to healthcare sector. In line with the increasing focus on the g rowing non-communicable dis eas e burden, Malaysia is investing heavily in healthcare infrastructure to improve access to healthcare services. The government has assigned RM2.3bil to build new hospitals.
The budget allocation for Malaysia’s healthcare tourism system is in line with the national economic blueprint, where healthcare travel has been recog nised as one of the National Key Economic Areas (NKEA) set to drive the country towards the status of a high-income nation by 2020.
Between 2011 and 2015, the healthcare travel industry recorded an average growth rate of 15%. In 2016, the industry grew by 23%, with an estimated contribution of approximately RM4bil to Malaysia’s economy.
“With greater access to healthcare services and guarantees of greater public funds towards healthcare, medicine s ales are highly likely to experience a tailwind.
“However, we note that innovative drug makers will continue to struggle due to the country’s challenging regulatory environment. In addition, with an expansion of access to healthcare services, we anticipate a greater generic substitution rhetoric as the rationalisation of the pharmaceutical budget,” Fitch Research said.
It also highlighted that Malaysia’s public debt as a share of GDP is likely to remain high over the coming years.
Elevated debt will reduce Putrajaya’s ability to respond to negative shocks to the economy, especially from external events.
Fitch Research pointed out the larger budget of RM314.6bil for 2019, was made possible with a RM30bil special dividend from Petroliam Nasional Bhd.
Including regular dividends of RM24bil, Petronas would be funding 17.2% of expenditures in 2019, highlighting Malaysia’s continued reliance on oil revenues.
Excluding the special dividend, total government revenues in 2019 would have contracted by 2.0% to RM231.8bil from 2018’s RM236.5bil, a reflection of the government’s challenges associated with broadening the tax base to make up for the decreased tax intake from reinstating the Sales and Services Tax since September.
