Versatile Instrument Combinations to Fit Your Application

Product catalog summary
Overview: This technical bulletin discusses versatile instrument combinations for measuring refractive index and density, highlighting the benefits of combined systems over separate instruments. Key advantages include cost reduction, decreased operator time, and consolidated data management.
1. Basic Configuration: This setup integrates a Rudolph J457 Series Refractometer with a DDM Series Density Meter. It is ideal for laboratories with small sample volumes or high viscosity samples. The shared interface simplifies operations without compromising measurement accuracy.
2. Flow Through Configuration with Manual Sample Injection: This system uses a Dual Purpose optics module, allowing simultaneous loading of both instruments via syringe. It is suitable for labs planning future automation or those dealing with highly evaporative samples.
3. Flow Through Configuration with Peristaltic Pump: A peristaltic pump facilitates sample movement through both instruments. This configuration is beneficial for users seeking automated loading and cleaning, especially with high viscosity samples.
4. Flow Through Configuration with ECS: The most versatile setup, featuring automated sample disposal, rinsing, and drying. It is designed for users requiring ease of operation and handling low viscosity samples like beverages.
Conclusion: Each configuration offers unique benefits tailored to specific laboratory needs, from manual to automated systems, accommodating various sample types and volumes.

Combined Density / Refractive Index Instruments Some applications require both refractive index and density measurements on the same sample and find a combined instrument is a convenient alternative to two completely separate instruments. The advantages of a combined system are: • A shared interface reduces the overall cost of the system. • There may be less operator time needed to load and clean when the samples are low viscosity. • Many laboratories combine the density and refractive index results and use them to calculate a third parameter. Having both results exported into the same file keeps...

2. FLOW THROUGH CONFIGURATION: DENSITY METER AND REFRACTOMETER OPTICS MODULE WITH MANUAL SAMPLE INJECTION DESCRIPTION This system is similar to the basic configuration but uses the DP (Dual Purpose) optics module to allow a single load between the Refractometer and Density Meter. Utilizing a syringe users can load both instruments simultaneously (see Figure A) or remove the DP Presser Cover and use both instruments in manual mode with two separate sample loads (see Figure B).

3. FLOW THROUGH CONFIGURATION WITH PERI PUMP: DENSITY METER, REFRACTOMETER OPTICS MODULE WITH PERISTALTIC PUMP SAMPLING SYSTEM DESCRIPTION A Peristaltic Pump draws the sample into both the Refractometer and Density Meter. The user drops a sipper tube into the sample and starts the Peri Pump from the display. The Peristaltic Pump draws the sample through both instruments and then measures. The measured sample is then displaced by the following sample. WHO SHOULD CONSIDER THIS SYSTEM? • Laboratories working with low viscosity samples such as beverages. • Users who don't mind utilizing 50ml of sample...
