Semi Automatic Polarimeter Used in the Pharmaceutical Industry

Pharmaceutical industry researchers use manual and semi-automatic polarimeters to ascertain the amount of light or radio waves emanating from a single source that move in one direction. Specifically, polarimeters measure angles of rotation.

The Automation Difference

• Semi-automatic polarimeters are sought for their digital capabilities. Specifically, they tend to be equipped with electric switches that rotate the analyzers to the left and right. They also have display screens that show sample temperatures and measurements.

Measurement Range

• Semi-automatic polarimeters used in the pharmaceutical industry have large measurement ranges from -180 degrees to 180 degrees. Measurements are displayed in increments of .05 degrees.

Temperature Range

• The average range of temperature tolerated by semi-automatic polarimeters is 5 degrees Centigrade to 40 degrees Centigrade.

Wavelengths

• Semi-automatic polarimeters used in research can distinguish polarimetry in wavelengths up to 589 nm..

Dimensions

• Semi-automatic polarimeters are small enough to fit on top of a desk or similar workspace. Average dimensions are 43 cm x 22 cm x 30 cm. They can weigh from 8 kg to 12 kg.
