In this work, we develop a high-throughput viscometer for Newtonian fluids with viscosities between 1500 and 12 000 cP. The viscometer is developed based on an automated pipetting robot Opentrons (OT-2), with a commercial wide bore tip. The measurement protocol exploits the known characteristics of...
