The balance between a sample and reference flow with a common pressure drop enables simple and accurate measurement of fluid viscosity without standard pressure gauges and complicate theoretical calculations. The microfluidic rheometer measures minute changes in a rheological property of bovine serum albumin by chemical and thermal denaturation.
