Polarimeter (Pre-Owned)

A polarimeter is an instrument which measures the angle of rotation by passing polarized light through an optically active (chiral) substance. Many chemicals exhibit a specific rotation as a unique property, polarimeters can identify unknown samples based on this if other variables such as concentration and length of sample cell length are controlled or at least known. Polarimeters can also be used in the food & beverage and pharmaceutical industries for concentration and purity measurements to determine product or ingredient quality.
