Alpha Sample Cutter
Why sample preparation matters

The most avoidable source of test error

Inconsistent sample volume and shape add unnecessary variation to your results. Torque depends on how close or far apart the dies are, so variation in sample volume becomes variation in your data.

Alpha’s industry-proven Constant Volume sample cutters give you identical samples, with one model for rheometers and one for Mooney viscometers. More reliable data lets you set tighter specifications and deliver better final products.

Built for everyday lab use

Simple, fast and safe

Samples in seconds

Cut a constant-volume rubber sample in seconds and get back to testing.

Two cutter options

Choose the rheometer or Mooney viscometer model. Samples fit the corresponding sample trays perfectly.

Compact footprint

Makes efficient use of bench space and fits easily alongside your instruments.

Two-hand safety

Optical sensors require both hands to activate the cutter, so no shield guard is needed.
