RFM900 – New Refractometers for Pharmaceutical and Other High RI Applications

B+S launch a replacement for the wide measuring range RFM800 series of refractometers.

The new RFM900 series feature RFID (radio frequency identification) that allows users to identify themselves by simply swiping a tag across the top of the instrument to enable measurement and in certain cases, access to the configuration menu. Peltier temperature control and intelligent temperature management ensures readings are only taken when the sample and temperature are both stable.

A new low profile sample dish and non-contact presser makes sample application and cleaning much easier than with its predecessor. Readings can be taken automatically on the replacement of the presser and up to 700 stored results can be easily seen in tabular form on the instrument display.

The instrument conforms to USP/EP/BP and offers operational features that allow use in an environment controlled by FDA regulation 21 CFR Part 11. The new RFM900 series is therefore ideally suited for use in the pharmaceutical sector; as well as the petrochemical, aroma, flavour fragrance and other high RI applications.
