Fast Frequency Chirps

CHIRPS Data screens on laptop monitor

Fast Frequency Chirps technology transforms how frequency sweeps are performed on Discovery Hybrid Rheometers. By using rapid, continuous frequency-modulated “chirps,” this method enables efficient measurement of a material’s linear viscoelastic properties, capturing dynamic changes such as curing or chemical reactions.

Fast Frequency Chirps use Optimally Windowed Chirps (OWCh) to capture viscoelastic data up to 5x faster, making low-frequency data accessible. The result? Shorter test times and richer datasets that can support deeper material insights and more informed decision-making.

  • Accelerated Testing and Real-Time Insights
    Run experiments in minutes, not hours, with live modulus data and access to the full frequency range.
  • Advanced Material Characterization
    Reliably capture fast transitions like curing and gelation and explore the full viscoelastic spectrum for deeper insights.
  • Versatile and Adaptive Performance
    Suitable for a wide range of soft materials—polymers, gels, biomaterials, resins—with responsive autostrain controls that adapt to material behavior.
  • Efficient, Streamlined Workflow
    Integrated with TRIOS Software for smooth setup, testing, and analysis, backed by high-quality raw data for reliable results.
