Modular laboratory automation for chemistry, pharmaceuticals, and biotech Want to automate your laboratory processes cost-effectively? Record test data online? Control processes via digital recipes or run multiple systems simultaneously? Our process development automation system is modular and can be flexibly adapted to meet any requirement. From simple data acquisition or data logger systems to networked process control systems with hundreds of inputs and outputs. This means your automation software can grow with your needs. Whether you want to automate a single agitator or a reactor system with multiple laboratory instruments. You define the requirements and we deliver the right modules for your customised laboratory or automation system. The most important functions at a glance: - Visualize, control, monitor and evaluate processes - Fully automated control and management of graphically controlled recipe processes - Create professional reports - Networking workplaces - Log data without a PC - Access control and user administration - Standardized interfaces (OPC-UA, Modbus, Python, etc.) - Duplicate reactor systems and manage them in parallel Our software is particularly suited to the visualisation and automating of continuous and batch processes in laboratories, pilot plants, mini plants and production facilities in the Chemistry-, Pharma-, Bio- and food industries.

The Autopol 589 saccharimeter from Rudolph Research Analytical provides the same features, measuring speed and accuracy of the Autopol 880 but at the single wavelength of 589 nm. For 0.01°Z accuracy sugar testing and payment. 589 nm is for countries and applications where lead or other suitable clarifiers are being used. This model works at 589 nm and is not compliant with ICUMSA testing at 880 nm.

These saccharimeters are used by 98% of all US sugar mills and 100% of all US customs labs. It has 0.01 accuracy and is available in both 2 and 4 wavelength versions. Capable of measuring at both 589 nm and 880 nm, the 880 nm ICUMSA Approved near infrared wavelength allows measurement of dark sugar factory juices, while the purity mode provides simultaneous measurement and display of Purity, Brix and POL.

The Autopol 880 Plus and Autopol 880T Plus are the latest most advanced model, developed and tested in conjunction with labs testing pharmaceutical grade sugars. These labs require precise temperature control yet still want flow through cell type operation. These units are only suitable for air-conditioned modern laboratories. These dual wavelength saccharimeters are capable of measuring at both 589 nm and 880 nm. The 880 nm ICUMSA approved near infrared wavelength allows measurement of dark sugar factory juices, while the purity mode allows simultaneous measurement and display of Purity, Brix and POL.

The Autopol I is a food and sugar polarimeter and can be used in less demanding applications where the budget is critical, but quality is still important. The Autopol I is a single wavelength instrument operating at 589nm. The 589nm wavelength is often referred to as the Sodium D-Line. The Autopol I features a built in thermoprobe for temperature measurement and is manufactured using the same high quality Glan Thompson Calcite Polarizers used in high accuracy models.

The Autopol II is designed as a general purpose, automatic, dual wavelength polarimeter for budget focused pharmacuetical, contract, food and chemistry laboratories. Packed with features the Autopol II offers the same standard and optional features as the Autopol I but allows greater wavelength flexibility with 589nm and 546nm standard wavelengths and optional 365nm, 405nm, 436nm, 578nm, and 633nm available. The Autopol II features a built in thermoprobe for temperature and optional TempTrol automatic electronic heating and cooling.

The Autopol III is a two wavelength pharmaceutical and research grade digital automatic polarimeter. The Autopol III features dual wavelengths and accuracy similar to Rudolph’s more advanced models, but with a simplified interface. Just place the cell in the sample chamber, press the Start Key and get 5 results in less than 25 seconds.

The Autopol IIZ is a single wavelength (589 nm) saccharimeter that is perfect for 0.02º Z applications where budget is critical. It is popular for applications that do not require ICUMSA measurement at the 880 nm wavelength. The Autopol IIZ is a dual wavelength (589 nm and 880 nm) saccharimeter for sugar mills that perform sugar purity testing according to the ICUMSA non-lead procedure. A budget saving alternative for applications that do not require the accuracy of more expensive saccharimeters.

The Autopol V digital polarimeter is designed for regulated pharmaceutical and nutraceutical analytical laboratories. Standard measurement and compliance features TempTrol electronic cooling and heating from 15°-35°C and 6 standard wavelengths (365nm, 405nm, 436nm, 546nm, 589nm and 633nm).

The Autopol V Plus is the ideal pharmaceutical polarimeter. The V Plus has the validation tools and features required by today’s pharmaceutical companies, including instrument level 21CFR Part 11 compliance and NIST traceable calibration standards. The Autopol V Plus is known worldwide for quality, accuracy and reproducibility.

The Autopol VI is designed as a research polarimeter for the most demanding analytical laboratories. If your laboratory requires the highest accuracy and must meet the most stringent compliance standards, the Autopol VI has the measurement, temperature control, communications, and data tracking capabilities your application requires.
