01 | Future-orientation
Expand Your Capabilities for the Future
Your testing requirements today may be different tomorrow. HAAKE MARS is designed to grow with your laboratory.
A wide range of accessories—including temperature modules, application-focused measuring cells and measuring geometries—allows the system to adapt as testing requirements evolve.
Existing HAAKE MARS systems can also be upgraded with new hardware and software, helping users incorporate future technological developments without replacing the entire platform.
The platform is compatible with the Thermo Scientific™ HAAKE™ Viscotester™ iQ Rheometer and HAAKE™ MARS™ iQ Rheometer Series, supporting the transfer of test methods from R&D to QC.
One platform. Expanding possibilities. Long-term flexibility.
02 | Accuracy
Engineered for Stable and Reproducible Measurements
Accurate rheological measurements begin with a stable mechanical platform.
The HAAKE MARS features a robust one-piece, cast-aluminum H-shaped frame designed for optimized force distribution and high mechanical stability.
Unlike conventional C-shaped frames, the H-shaped design aligns the active forces generated by the sample and the reactive forces within the frame on the same plane. This helps minimize measuring-gap changes caused by high normal forces and supports reproducible, reliable measurement results.
The platform also incorporates integrated control electronics, ergonomic controls and flexible mounting options for temperature and application modules.
Precision Where It Matters
From sample loading to temperature control and measurement geometry, every element is designed to support consistent testing conditions and reliable rheological data.
03 | Ease of Use
Simplify Operation. Minimize Errors.
Advanced technology should make laboratory work easier—not more complicated.
HAAKE MARS incorporates a user-focused design to simplify daily operation and reduce the potential for user errors.

- Universal adapters for individual rotors
- Customized measuring geometries available on request
This flexibility enables measurements ranging from water-like liquids to highly structured materials and solids.
Flexible Temperature Control
HAAKE MARS provides extensive temperature-control options, with sample temperature control from approximately -150 °C to 600 °C, depending on the selected module and configuration.
Available solutions include:
- Peltier Temperature Modules
- Liquid Temperature Modules
- Electric Temperature Modules
- Controlled Test Chamber (CTC)
- Universal Active and Passive Upper Temperature Modules
Plug-and-play connections, automatic module recognition and rapid temperature equilibration help simplify temperature-controlled rheological testing.
05 | Application-based Solutions
Configured Around Your Application
No two testing requirements are exactly the same.
The open and spacious design of HAAKE MARS makes it easy to adapt the rheometer to specialized applications through a wide range of application-oriented measuring cells and customized measurement setups.
Solutions are available for demanding applications including:
Food | Construction Materials | UV-Curing Materials | Polymers | Coatings | Pharmaceuticals | Petrochemicals | Cosmetics | Mining
Customized configurations can also be developed for specific measurement requirements.
For example, the measuring head can be installed in the lower holder to achieve optimized positioning within a beam path, enabling specialized configurations such as the use of two measuring heads.
