Automatic High-Performance Polarimeter

The automatic, digital, high-speed polarimeters in the P8000 Series from A Krüss Optronic have a measuring time of just 1 second. Despite their speed, they achieve high accuracy and resolution.

All devices are fully digital and operated via an easy-cleaning touchscreen using an intuitive menu. The menu language can also be selected as well as the units for the results display. In addition to the optical rotation value in °, the rotation can be determined according to the international sugar scale in °Z, as a specific rotation for a known concentration of the solution or the concentration for a known specific rotation. Finally, freely selectable units can also be programmed such as for determining the molar rotation. All models in the P8000 family include an internal SQL database in which the measuring results can be stored and managed. A serial printer connection allows for a paper version of the results to be printed via an external printer. Finally, the devices can be connected to the computer or a laboratory network, available in many companies, with an Ethernet cable which is included with all models. The measuring results can thus be kept available and reprocessed as you wish. All devices meet international quality standards and GLP principles.

The basic device P8000 is an all-round device for all analysis tasks occurring in polarimetry. It is generally suitable for use in laboratories in chemical, pharmaceutical, food and drink, sugar and cosmetics industries. In addition to individual measurements, series of measurements with pre-programmed intervals and measuring values can also be carried out automatically without the laboratory staff having to be at the device constantly.

For particularly precise measurements, version P8100 is available. While the standard version P8000 already achieves excellent measuring accuracy of 0.003°, the P8100 measures to an accuracy of 0.002°.

All versions in the P8000 family are also available in two temperature-compensated versions. Apart from cleaning the polarimeter tubes after use and occasionally cleaning the device generally, no other maintenance is required. All devices in the P8000 family are supplied with a touchscreen pencil, detailed and easy-to-understand operating instructions and a network connection cable.
