Fully Automatic Refractometer, RFT-A7 Series
Description
Refractive index and mean dispersion are key optical constants that characterize a material. Precisely measuring the refractive index not only helps identify substance purity and analyze optical performance but also accurately assesses its dispersion properties. Based on this principle, the fully automatic refractometer can accurately measure the refractive index of liquids at different temperatures. With its wide range of applications, it directly correlates with multiple critical parameters, such as the mass fraction of sucrose solutions, the solid content in soft drinks, and the water content in honey, providing reliable data support for quality control and process analysis.
Features
High-Resolution Detection, Accurate and Efficient
Equipped with a high-resolution CCD detection system, it enables fast automatic measurements with excellent repeatability. The built-in temperature compensation function effectively minimizes human error, ensuring authentic and reliable data.
Minimal Sample Volume, Non-Destructive Recovery
Only 0.5 mL of sample is required for measurement. With a small liquid contact area, the measurement process is non-destructive, and the sample can be recovered and reused, helping to control experimental costs.
Stable and Durable Core Components
The measuring prism is corrosion-resistant, scratch-resistant, and easy to clean and maintain, ensuring a long service life.
The long-life LED light source can operate continuously for over 100,000 hours.
The entire instrument has no mechanical moving parts, supporting consistent and stable measurements and meeting high-intensity usage demands.
Extensive Data Management, Easy System Integration
Built-in large capacity database, data can be saved, transmitted, printed, and traced. Measurement results can be exported as PDF reports or directly saved to a U disk, with an optional external printer also available.
RFT-A756 supports user hierarchy management, equipped with serial communication and open interfaces, seamless data connection with user systems such as LIMS is easily achieved, promoting digital laboratory management.
Compliant with Regulations, Meeting Audit Requirements
RFT-A756 offer optional audit trail software functionality, complying with FDA 21 CFR Part 11, GMP, GLP, and pharmacopoeia requirements, making them suitable for the stringent quality management needs of the pharmaceutical industry.
Wide Applicability Across Industries, Diverse Measurement Modes
RFT-A756: 12 industry-standard parameters.
RFT-A733/731: 8 industry-standard parameters.
