As part of a undergraduate research team, we are interested in acquiring the most suitable equipment to measure properties such as viscosity, gelling temperature and densities of different small-sample hydrogels such as agarose and chitosan. We are interested in the cost of the equipment and how accurate it would be for our purposes. Our intentions are to obtain the proper viscosity for 3D printing applications. Currently a major limitation is the solidification of the hydro gel during the extrusion method.
