The Starch Pasting Cell
The Starch Pasting Cell (SPC) is a Smart Swap™ accessory available on all AR Rheometers. The option
provides a more accurate and powerful tool to characterize the gelatinization of raw and modified starch
products as well as the properties of the starch gels. It can also be used for characterizing many other
highly unstable materials. It uses an innovative impeller design for mixing, reduction of water loss, and
control of sedimentation during testing. The actual sample temperature is measured and controlled in a
temperature chamber with heating/cooling rates up to 30°C/min.
Refer to the Starch Pasting Cell Getting Started Guide for additional information.
