Abstract
The application, of coatings on the surface of a substrate is of high commercial interest. The present invention relates to a platform for rendering the development of surface coatings more efficient and bringing the development and testing cycle closer to industrial manufacturing reality. For this, the coating platform according to the present invention for the automated preparation and curing of a plurality of coatings on a plurality of substrates at least comprises: (i) at least one substrate handling module for handling the plurality of substrates before and after the coating process, whereby the substrate handling module preferably comprises at least one means for reading identification codes on substrates; (ii) at least one coating module (30) comprising at least one coating tool for applying a shear force onto a formulation as applied onto the substrate and/or as being in physical contact with said substrate; (iii) at least one transfer module for the transfer of a plurality of coated and/or uncoated substrates from one part of the coating platform to at least one other part and (iv) at least one means for drying (40, 40') and/or (50, 50') the plurality of coated substrates.

Abstract
Methods and apparatus for measuring viscosity and/or surface tension of a liquid are described in which droplets are formed at a needle or pipette containing a sample of the test liquid and a size-related characteristic of the droplets such as droplet size, volume, diameter, or weight of the test liquid are measured by means of by capturing an image of the droplets and obtaining the size-related characteristic from the captured image. Subsequently or previously, a volume of the same sample of the test liquid is drained from the needle or pipette under pump pressure or a hydrostatic pressure, and an elution time is measured. The method and apparatus allows or includes determining the viscosity from the elution time, and determining the surface tension from the viscosity and the size-related characteristic of the droplet such as droplet size, volume, diameter, or weight of the test liquid.
