Automated Refractometry Measurement
Save time and reduce costs using Mettler Toledo‘s seamless automated refractometry measurement solutions for various industries, including pharmaceutical, chemical, petrochemical, and beverage sectors. Automated refractometers minimise the need for operator interaction with the instrument and ensure higher results reliability and fewer errors.
Automated Refractometry Measurement overview
- Superior sampling: Using pressurized air instead of suction enables reliable sampling of highly viscous samples (up to 36’000 mPa*s) and prevents bubble formation.
- Simple and efficient cleaning: Automatically rinse the measurement cell with one or two different solutions, and then use the desiccator for complete drying after measurements.
- Sample protection: Vials can be sealed and opened just before the actual measurement, so avoiding evaporation and contamination.
InMotion Autosampler Flex – for similar samples
The perfect automation refractometers for the beverage industry. Run multiple samples with low viscosities using a customized workflow:
- Multiple samples (15 to 303)
- Large choice of beaker sizes (25 to 250 mL)
- Rinsing with next sample
- Additional pH measurement possible in the same beaker
- Sedimentation of sample prevented by homogenizing with a stirrer
- Degassing of carbonated beverages with a combination of air flow and stirrer
- Final rinsing and testing with water
Sample Changer SC1 – single sample automation
Tired of using a syringe? Run fully automated refractive index measurements for any type of sample, saving time and improving the repeatability of your results. Automatic rinsing and drying ensure contamination-free operations.
- Single samples, even viscous ones (max. 36,000 mPas)
- Automatic sampling (pressurized air)
- Automatic rinsing with 2 solutions
- Automatic drying with desiccator
- Small sample volume (6, 9 or 20 mL)
- Sample recovery in cases where the sample must be retained as a reference sample
Sample Changer SC30 – multiple samples automation
Run a series of samples, automatically.
- Up to 30 samples, even highly viscous ones (max. 36,000 mPas)
- Automatic sampling (pressurized air)
- Automatic rinsing with 2 solutions
- Automatic drying with desiccator
- Small sample volume (6, 9 or 20 mL)
- Sample recovery in cases where the sample must be retained as a reference sample
