Refractometer Range Showcased at Pittcon 2018

Reichert Technologies, a business unit of Ametek Ultra Precision Technologies, demonstrated its impressive line of AR Series refractometers at Pittcon 2018, while a team of experts walked visitors through the many features of its top-of-the-line AR9 and AR5 bench-top refractometers.

Reichert’s AR9 is a top-of-the line refractometer that is exceptionally precise with measurement accuracies of 0.00002 refractive index (RI) and 0.02% Brix. With a built-in Peltier thermostat, the AR9 controls the temperature at the sample interface to an exactness of 0.03°C.

The AR9 is resilient and durable for exceptional performance in all applications. Backed by Reichert’s well-established reputation for leadership and innovation in analytical instruments, the AR9 offers the edge for important research and development projects. The AR9 provides the mandatory data needed for the most critically regulated industries. It features a YAG (Yttrium Aluminium Garnet) prism, the hardest prism available, guaranteeing precise performance and resilience for years. A 7” colour touchscreen Universal Display is included.

The AR5 is an economical refractometer that includes Peltier temperature control, making sophisticated measuring technology available to users on a tight budget. The AR5 is precise, measuring refractive index and % Brix with results accurate to 0.0001 RI and 0.05% Brix.

While the AR5 is the ideal instrument for performing routine measurements with standard scales, it can be configured for custom measurements. Its robust design resists surface damage caused by demanding applications. A sapphire prism ensures reliable operation and makes the AR5 a laboratory workhorse. High-end accuracy and a reasonable price give customers an exceptional advantage.
