Polarimeter

Key features

Indispensable for teaching and training

P1000-LED is used by numerous companies and institutes for basic lab applications and training, for example the experiment on saccharose inversion. It measures the optical rotation according to the half-shade principle, and the measurement results are read through an eyepiece and two noniuses.

• Basic laboratory applications
• Sample chamber for measurement tubes with a length of up to 220 mm
• Requires only little maintenance due to a high performance LED whose service life is up to 2000 times longer than that of conventional sodium discharge lamps
• The scope of delivery includes two measurement tubes (100 and 200 mm length) with a debubbler for the proper filling.
• Can be validated due to the possibility of receiving quartz control plates for the calibration and adjustment.

 

Typical applications

Hospitals and pharmacies:

• Incoming/outgoing goods inspection
• Control of pharmaceutical products according to pharmacopoeias

Training in the industry or at universities:

• Use for practical exercises and experiments:
• Kinetics of the cane sugar inversion
• Mutarotation of glucose
• Determination of the concentration of polysaccharides through amylolysis

 

Compliance with global standards

Working in accordance with standards and guidelines facilitates the comparison of the measured values and ensures their quality. The polarimeters P1000-LED meets the requirements of the following standards:

• Pharmacopoeias (USP, BP, JP, Ph. Eur.)
• ASTM
• ICUMSA
• NIST
