The Heavy Duty Line: Measures When Others Fail.

The refractometers of the Heavy Duty line are for work in harsh environments and for special applications. They have a hermetically sealed stainless steel casing and no display so they are not affected by spillage or dirt. They are  controlled by an external PC which can be placed away from the workbench in another part of the laboratory. The Heavy Duty refractometers form a successful team with Anton Paar’s DMA density meters and MCP polarimeters.

For high-precision measurements, Abbemat HP delivers results accurate to ±0.00002 nD over the entire range from 1.32 nD to 1.56 nD. To measure samples with high or low refractive index, Abbemat WR provides measurements over a wide range of refractive indices, from 1.30 nD to 1.72 nD with an accuracy of ±0.00004 nD over the entire range. To determine dispersion or measure refractive index at different wavelengths, Abbemat MW can be configured with up to 8 wavelengths from 436 nm to 656 nm. For high-temperature measurements from 10°C to 110°C, Abbemat HT routinely handles hot samples or samples with high melting points.

All Abbemat refractometers are compliant with international standards such as ASTM, ICUMSA, OIML, AOAC, DIN/ISO, FDA, ISI, JIS and pharmacopoeias. They provide full compliance with 21 CFR Part 11, with user levels, audit trail, electronic signature and forgery-proof data export. Anton Paar also provides a qualification documentation package (IQ/OQ/PQ) to accompany the Abbemat refractometers.
