Calibration services for VA and legacy DMA+ instruments end December 2026. Protect your lab’s future with a trade-in credit toward next-generation DMA+ instruments.

Your current Metravib DMA instrument has served your lab well. But with calibration services ending this year, continuing to rely on legacy equipment puts your testing accuracy and operational continuity at risk.

Without regular calibration, your measurement data loses credibility. Your quality system requires traceable calibration records. Your customers expect validated test results. When calibration services disappear, your instrument becomes a compliance liability.

Alpha Technologies is offering special trade-in credit on VA2000, VA3000, VA4000, DMA+100, DMA+150, and DMA+450 instruments when you upgrade to the next-generation DMA+ series. This limited-time program runs through December 31, 2026.

Take action now to:

        • Maintain uninterrupted calibration services and measurement traceability
        • Gain access to expanded testing capabilities your current instrument cannot perform
        • Secure ongoing technical support and software updates for years to come
        • Apply trade-in credit toward the most advanced DMA platform in its class

Why Metravib DMA+ Represents a True Upgrade

The DMA+ series delivers measurement capabilities that legacy instruments cannot match. Built on a one-piece cast frame, these instruments eliminate compliance errors across the full modulus range from soft gels to rigid metals.

Key advantages over legacy models:

        • Sub-nanometer displacement resolution (<1 nm) captures true material stiffness
        • Modulus range spans 7+ decades without instrument changeover
        • Direct frequency measurements up to 1000 Hz with optional high-frequency module
        • Temperature range from -150°C to +500°C supports broader material screening
        • Automatic Tg detection and master curve generation reduce operator time
        • LIMS compatibility and CSV export streamline data management

Testing capabilities your VA or legacy DMA+ instrument lacks:

        • Fatigue crack growth tracking with motorized digital camera (5 µm accuracy)
        • Heat Build-Up (HBU) module for rubber compound screening
        • Excitation Level Storage (ELS) for repeatable testing of non-linear materials
        • Auto-chaining of DMA and fatigue tests in single unattended runs
        • Custom waveform importation for specialized test protocols

Scale Your Testing with 24/7 Automation

Add the Xpander automation system to any DMA+ model. The 6-axis robot handles up to 444 specimens in removable racks. Tests run continuously without operator intervention.

Installation takes approximately 2 hours. No instrument modifications required. Switch between automated and manual modes in under 15 minutes.

Act Before Critical Deadlines

September 30, 2026: Last date to contact sales and qualify for trade-in credit

December 31, 2026: Trade-in program expires

December 2026: Final month for legacy instrument calibration services

After these dates pass, your options narrow significantly. Instruments that lose calibration capability lose their value in quality systems. Labs that delay face prolonged testing shutdowns while waiting for new equipment procurement and installation.
