Dynamic Mechanical Analyzer NEXTA DMA200 Cannon

Product Description

The NEXTA DMA200 from Cannon, developed in partnership with Hitachi, is a state-of-the-art Dynamic Mechanical Analyzer designed for advanced material characterization. Introduced in October 2023, this instrument brings cutting-edge technology to the laboratory, combining powerful analysis capabilities with ease of use. It is built to meet the demands of high-precision research in polymers, composites, and other advanced materials, with outstanding sensitivity and flexibility in test conditions.

Capable of analyzing a broad range of mechanical and thermal properties, the NEXTA DMA200 is ideal for understanding viscoelastic behavior, glass transitions, and frequency-dependent modulus changes. It features multiple deformation modes and advanced cooling options to accommodate various sample types and test conditions. Integrated with the Real View® system and user-friendly guidance software, this DMA provides not only high performance but also exceptional usability for both novice and expert users.
