The AUTOPOL III Automatic Polarimeter is Rudolph"s entry level Dual Wavelength Pharmaceutical and Research grade polarimeter offering accuracy similar to Rudolph"s more advanced models€ but with a simplified interface. Just place your cell in the sample chamber€ press the large red Measure Key and get 5 results in less than 25 seconds. It"s that easy.

The Autopol III"s Temperature Probe is covered with a micron thick glass coating to stand up to high molar Hydrochloric Acids used by some pharmaceutical labs.



A cGLP/GMP compliant printout€ which includes the temperature of the sample is generated by pressing the Print/Send Key after the measurement is finished.

Accessory Packages

The Autopol III comes standard with one of the three different Accessory Packages shown below. Each Package includes a NIST Traceable Calibration Standard and Certificate€ two Tungsten Halogen Lightsource lamps and an alignment target€ but different cell configurations. You select the package that is right for your lab.





Accessory Package A includes one 100mm€ 6ml glass center fill cell and one 100mm€ 6ml glass center fill stainless steel jacketed cell. This is our most popular package€ as cell windows can be removed and cleaned to avoid sample residue build up. All cells in this package are compatible with acids.









Accessory Package B includes one 50mm glass jacketed fixed end cell and one 100mm glass center fill cell with removable windows. Fused end cells avoid improper assembly by untrained users€ but are very fragile and difficult to clean. All cells in this package are compatible with acids.









Accessory Package C is designed for small volume and durability and is very popular with universities. Each cell has a lifetime warranty against breakage€ is easily filled and cell windows can be removed€ cleaned and replaced if necessary. Cells are available in 50mm€ 100mm and 200mm length versions. Cell volumes range from 0.5ml to 15ml.
