Atago 5291 AP-300 Automatic Polarimeter, 100-240 VAC

Eliminate the need for manual adjustments with this fully automatic polarimeter. Measure and display angle of rotation (AOR), International Sugar Scale (ISS), specific optical rotation, concentration, and purity. Determine the purity of sugar by the International Sugar Scale and identify the attributes of inverted sugar. This unit is ideal for the pharmaceutical, chemical, food, and cosmetic industries.

Operation is simple: zero the unit by pressing the zero key, place the sample-filled tube in the measuring chamber, and press the start key. Measurements are displayed on a color LCD with backlight. Date, time, mode number, scale name, tube size and length, measurements, and temperature are all displayed. Automatic temperature compensation corrects readings of the International Sugar Scale from 64 to 86°F (18 to 30°C). Store and recall up to 30 of the most recent measurements. Download the measurements to your computer or printer via the RS-232 interface.

Password security protects your data from accidental deletion. Set limits to your measurements; display shows your measurements compared to the limits. Take multiple measurements and set the unit to display an average value — great for multiple trials of the same sample. A halogen lamp with a 589 nm filter provides the light source.
