Automatic Digital Refractometer: Abbemat
Abbemat automatic digital refractometers allow fast and non-destructive refractive index (RI) measurements. In refractometry, only a small volume of sample is required. For routine applications choose from different flow-through cells to suit your analysis and get RI and RI-derived results in seconds, e.g. the sugar content of a sample. Abbemat digital refractometers provide a broad field of application. The instruments are used in demanding quality control, in research, at authorities and at standards organizations.
Unique performance – reliable results within seconds
- Abbemat® refractometers provide optimum stability and analytical performance
- Due to highpower solid state thermostat measuring temperature is reached within seconds
- Optimal sample temperature measurement by sensor positioning just below the prism face
- Easy cleaning and no sample carry-over due to smooth junction between prism and sample mould
- No moving parts – no drift, no maintenance requirements
Withstanding rough operating conditions – at no extra cost
- In contrast to ordinary refractometers Abbemat® refractometers are also well suited for lab environments with rough operating conditions
- Robust stainless steel housing - resistant against acids, bases and solvents
- Hermetically sealed - aggressive liquids, gases and dust cannot enter and harm the refractometer
- No internal condensation problems in cold or humid environments
Versatile configurations – for the flexibility you need
- Abbemat® refractometers are available as high-precision (HP), wide-range (WR), high-temperature (-HT) or multi-wavelength versions (-MW)
- The Abbemat® refractometer and control unit configuration easily adapts to the specific requirements of your applications
- The control unit can be separated in case of rough operating conditions
- Samples containing particles or gas bubbles cause no interference problems when the refractometer is turned on its side
- Abbemat® refractometers can be combined with DMA M density meters and MCP polarimeters
User-friendly software – making your work easier
- More than 70 scales to convert refractive index into concentrations, etc.
- Formula parser allows the creation of customized scales
21 CFR part 11 and GMP/GLP compliance – for a regulated environment
- Audit trail
- User management with different access levels
- Electronic signature
