Digital Refractometers & Polarimeters

Product catalog summary
Introduction
Digital refractometers and polarimeters are precision instruments used in industries like food, chemical, and pharmaceuticals to measure concentration and purity. They operate based on refractive index and optical rotation principles to ensure accurate measurements.
Refractive Index
Refractometers measure the refractive index, which is the ratio of the speed of light in a vacuum to its speed in a medium, to determine the concentration of substances such as sucrose, glucose, and sodium chloride.
Optical Rotation
Polarimeters measure optical rotation, which occurs when plane-polarized light passes through an optically active substance, rotating the light's plane. This measurement is crucial for quality control in industries like sugar, food, and pharmaceuticals.
RFM700 Series Refractometers
The RFM700 series are cost-effective refractometers for the food and beverage industries, featuring a sapphire prism, stainless steel dish, and high-definition color display. They support multiple scales and offer temperature compensation.
RFM300 Series Refractometers
The RFM300 series provides a wide measuring range and rapid temperature stabilization, with a touchscreen or keypad interface and storage for over 8000 readings. They are ideal for homogenous fluids and challenging samples like fruit pulps.
RFM900 Series Refractometers
Designed for high precision, the RFM900 series features a touchscreen display and measures up to six decimal places, suitable for chemical, petrochemical, and pharmaceutical industries. They offer RFID user identification and FDA compliance.
ADP400 Series Polarimeters
The ADP400 series measures optical rotation with a no-maintenance LED light source, supporting samples up to 3.0 OD. They feature high-definition displays and support multiple scales.
Conclusion
These instruments are essential for precise measurement and quality control across various industries, offering features like temperature control, user identification, and data storage for reliable results.
Overview of ADP400 Series Polarimeters
The ADP400 Series offers continuous and single-shot reading modes, ideal for pharmaceutical applications. It supports over 8000 measurements, with password-protected calibration and FDA compliance, interfacing with various peripherals for data output.
ADP430 and ADP450 Polarimeters
The ADP430 uses automatic temperature compensation or a water bath, while the ADP450 features XPC technology for stable temperature measurement, ensuring reliable results with SMART temperature stability.
Polarimeter Tubes and Accessories
Bellingham + Stanley polarimeter tubes conform to ICUMSA standards, with precision-ground ends and low strain glass windows. Various tube types and accessories are available for different applications, including ultra-violet measurement.
ADP600 Series Polarimeters
The ADP600 Series offers single, dual, and multiple wavelength models, measuring optical rotation to four decimal places. It features Peltier temperature control, a high-definition touch-screen display, and extensive interfacing capabilities, supporting FDA compliance and multiple pharmacopoeia standards.
ADS400 Series Saccharimeter
Designed for sugar laboratories, the ADS400 Series displays results in the ISS (°Z) scale and is available in sodium and NIR wavelengths. It features low power consumption, a sealed casing for high humidity environments, and an intuitive interface with RFID login for secure access.
General Specifications and Accessories
The document provides detailed specifications for various models, including temperature control, measurement ranges, and interfacing options. Accessories such as waterbaths, printers, and cables are also listed to support the operation and maintenance of the instruments.

Feature Key 21 CFR Part 11 Peltier Temperature Control RFID User Identity Factory Friendly USB Connectivity HD Colour Display What is Refractive Index? When light passes from one medium to another, the speed at which the light travels will change depending on the parameters of the materials. This principle can be seen when looking at a straw in a glass or an oarsman on the river, as shown in the diagram. The ratio or change in the speed of light is called refractive index and instruments that measure this are called refractometers. The refractive index of a liquid is related to its concentration...

offset from within the Methods system, can express finished beverages as an equivalent SG. By doing so, contract packers of beverage products may now use a refractometer in situations where density °Brix or SG is dictated as the method of analysis, whilst retaining all the measurement advantages held by a refractometer. A dual display function allows original Brix or RI to be displayed alongside the equivalent sucrose SG result. Other new features now standard on the RFM300 Series include RFID User Clearance, electronic signatures and audit trails that facilitate use in an FDA regulated environment...
