AUTOPOL IIZ Saccharimeter

Description

The AUTOPOL IIZ Saccharimeter from Rudolph Research Analytical is an instrument designed for sugar analysis where high precision at a specific wavelength is required. It provides a measuring range of +/- 259°Z (or +/- 89.9° Arc Optical Rotation) with an accuracy of 0.02°Z in sugar degrees. This model operates at a wavelength of either 589 nm or 880 nm, accommodating different standard methods. Temperature compensation is functional between 18°C and 40°C, with the overall operational temperature range spanning 10°C to 40°C. A key design feature is the use of Glan Thompson Calcite polarizers, which offer superior optical performance compared to plastic alternatives. This saccharimeter is suited for applications such as sugar mills that follow ICUMSA non-lead procedures but do not require the highest level of accuracy offered by more advanced models. It represents a cost-effective solution for routine quality control where the specified accuracy is sufficient.
