The flow-through compartments and tubes enable the easy and safe feeding of the same sample through both instruments. The vertical positioning of the measuring head prevents sedimentation of particles on the prism. The controller of the polarimeter also handles the results of the refractometer and displays the temperature-corrected Pol and Brix and calculates purity according to the ICUMSA Method GS4/7-1(1994). All additional values, e.g. temperature, refractive index, and wavelength, can be shown on different pages of the display in a customized way.
Ethernet/local area network (LAN) and USB ports allow an easy data transfer to MIS or other external data base systems. When the sample tube with integrated temperature sensor is used, the polarimetric measurement is temperature compensated and the instrument will automatically detect the tube length. This configuration is a stand-alone automatic Schmidt + Haensch Purity Analyzer without the need of an additional computer.
Alternatively, the user has the choice of using two separate instruments and calculating the purity of the sample with the Schmidt + Haensch software program on an external PC. For measurement of dark samples without clarification we recommend using a NIR polarimeter and our automatic filtration unit Autofilt / Autofilt Z for sample preparation.
