- +4
- 360°
- Built-in Peltier temperature control (20 °C or 25 °C)
- Small footprint; saves space in the lab
- Wireless automatic identification of sample cells and quartz control plates via RFID
The MCP 100/150 polarimeters are the right choice for routine quality control and universities, especially for pharmaceutical applications (MCP 150) and the flavor and fragrance industry. MCP 150 offers 21 CFR Part 11 compliance. The easy-to-use touchscreen supports fast navigation with unparalleled simplicity, and the multiple measurement capabilities and customized methods provided by MCP 150 make both routine and more complex measurements extremely easy. The powerful Peltier temperature control guarantees fast and even temperature distribution. With the intelligent Toolmaster™ technology, the connected sample cell or quartz control plate is automatically detected wirelessly. This eliminates user errors and ensures that every change is recorded in the audit trail. LIMS and FTP connectivity are fully supported.
