Sugar Polarimeter

Polartronic is a fully automatic sugar polarimeter with a rotating analyzer and complying with the ICUMSA recommendations.Sugar Polarimeter
The Polartronic is a circle polarimeter displaying in sugar degrees of the international sugar scale (in accordance with ICUMSA). The weight can be switched to 26, 13 or 6.5 g at the touch of a button on the control panel. Angular degrees and other concentration scales of optical activity can be entered as special scales.
The Polartronic is available with standard visible illumination (589 nm) or with near NIR (882nm) for lead free operation or a combination of the two.
