P1000-LED uses the half-shadow principle, with optical rotation read through an eyepiece and two verniers. Its intuitive operation suits companies, institutes and pharmacies.
Advantages
Half-shadow measurement and manual reading
- Half-shadow method with eyepiece and two verniers; each graduated circle covers 0–180°.
- 1° scale graduation and 0.05° vernier readability; readability is not automatic digital-measurement accuracy.
- 589 nm filtered LED illumination reduces maintenance associated with sodium lamps.
Sample tubes and practical teaching
- The chamber accepts tubes up to 220 mm; delivery includes 100 and 200 mm tubes with bubble traps.
- Quartz control plates can be held for validation.
- Supports practical exercises in sucrose inversion kinetics, glucose mutarotation and polysaccharide concentration after starch hydrolysis.
