A portable extensional rheometer for measuring the viscoelasticity of pitcher plant and other sticky liquids in the field

BACKGROUND: Biological fluids often have interesting and unusual physical properties to adapt them for their specific purpose. Laboratory-based rheometers can be used to characterise the viscoelastic properties of such fluids. This, however, can be challenging as samples often do not retain their na...
