New Polarimeter makes Temperature Controlled Measurement Easy

Xylem’s Bellingham + Stanley brand has launched the new ADP450 polarimeter with on-board Peltier temperature control for measuring optically active samples at stable temperatures.

Capable of measuring up to 3.0 OD at 589nm over a maximum tube length of 200mm, the ADP450 offers three decimal place precision to an accuracy of ±0.01° Angular making it ideal for general purpose use in food, flavours, fragrance, pharmaceutical and chemical industries as well as within academia and research.

New ‘single-shot’ or continual measurement of optical rotation or other related parameter such as specific rotation, concentration or inversion is easily achieved using the instrument’s simple Methods system. Results are clearly visible on the instruments new full colour 4” high definition display and over 8000 measurements as well as a record of the instrument’s configuration may be stored, viewed and output to LIMS or Secure PDF. Calibration and configuration of the ADP450 is password protected, accessible by keypad entry or for convenience, using a fully configurable RFID tag. This, together with the audit trail, facilitates operation in environments conforming to FDA regulation 21 CFR Part 11 or GLP.

Also available is the ADP430, complete with all the features of the ADP450 but without Peltier temperature control.
