ARIAS OptiMatrix 500 Refractometer

Product catalog summary
Overview: The Reichert Arias OptiMatrix TM 500 Refractometer is a precision instrument designed for measuring refractive index and percent solids with high accuracy and repeatability. It features a dual linear scanned array system that automates the interpretation of shadowlines, eliminating operator error and ensuring consistent results.
Key Features:
  • Dual linear scanned array detectors for precise shadowline detection.
  • Measures refractive index to five significant places and percent solids to two significant places.
  • Range: 1.30000 to 1.70000 Refractive Index and 0.00 to 95.00% Solids.
  • Accuracy: +/- 0.00005 Refractive Index and +/- 0.03% Solids.
  • Precision: +/- 0.00002.
  • Illumination with 589nm internal LEDs.
  • Operating temperature range: 10°C to 80°C.
  • Internal memory for 14 custom measurement scales.
  • Automatic temperature equilibration and multi-lingual instructions.
Innovations: The Arias OptiMatrix TM 500 is the first transmitted light refractometer with precision comparable to high-end automatic reflected light refractometers. It automates shadowline interpretation, reducing reading scatter and operator error, and can switch to manual mode if needed.
OptiMatrix TM Dual Arrays: Utilizes two arrays to determine shadowline position, with the second array providing higher accuracy than manual methods. The system uses monochromatic light at 589 nm to avoid dispersion issues.
Calibration and Temperature Measurement: Supports multipoint calibration with seven points, including water and customizable options. The temperature sensor is located at the prism/sample interface for accurate readings, crucial for precise refractive index measurements.
Performance: Consistent readings across different users and sample types, including challenging samples like raspberry salad dressing, as demonstrated in comparative tests.
Technical Specifications:
  • Operation: Semi-automatic, transmitted light laboratory refractometer.
  • Sample Types: Transparent and translucent liquids and solids.
  • Calibration: Set point with distilled water and span point with NIST oils.
  • Temperature Control: 10°C to 80°C range with precision of 0.01°C.
  • Display: Graphic LCD, 44mm x 44mm.
  • Data Output: Two 9-pin RS232C serial ports, user-definable baud rate up to 57,600 bps.
  • Languages: English, German, French, and Spanish.
  • Net Weight: 7.84 kg (17.25 lb).
  • Warranty: 2 years.
Customer Support: Reichert provides comprehensive customer service and technical assistance to ensure optimal performance of their refractometers.

Precision the Human Eye Can’t Match The Arias OptiMatrixTM 500’s unique ability to take an automatic reading of the shadowline intersect eliminates reading scatter caused by operator interpretation. Some shadowlines are not sharp due to particulate matter or non-homogeneous samples. With a manual refractometer, this may result in variations in readings between operators. With the Arias OptiMatrixTM 500, this is no longer a problem. Consistent results are obtained by allowing the instrument to automatically interpret the shadowline (see Figure 1). Simply place a sample on the prism, bring the...
