Refractometers From Rudolph Research All Feature:

  • Easy to clean, shallow Sample well – A clean sample well is imperative to accurate measurements.
  • Durable Sapphire Prisms with Long-life Light sources – Low Life of instrument cost.
  • 3 Year Domestic Warranty, Up to 3 International Warranty
  • Sales and local service located near your lab anywhere in the world.
  • Decades of leading Analytical Instrument Design and Support.

High Durability Sapphire Prism

All Rudolph Research J-Series instrument offer a sapphire prism for high mechanical and chemical durability. The sample well is acid resistant 316 stainless steel with a Techtron sealing ring. There is no lamp to change, the LED light source is guaranteed for 1,000,000 measurements.

Shallow Refractometer Sample Well – All Rudolph J-Series Models

Refractometer measurement accuracy is only as reliable as the cleanliness of the sample well. Hard to clean sample wells can lead to inaccuracies due to residual from a prior measurement. Rudolph Research set out to dramatically minimize this problem by taking a new approach to sample well design. The Rudolph sample well is very shallow and smooth allowing easier cleaning and less surface area for contaminants to hide. Less sample is required and the well cleans easily. The result is more accurate measurements due to significantly less opportunity for sample contamination.

Refractometer Sample Well

Refractometer – Sample Temperature Control

Rudolph’s uniquely designed refractometer sample well and electronic heating and cooling system improves results. For many applications sample temperatures must be accurately controlled within the sample well. When an application requires highly controlled temperature, a temperature controlled presser will assure even and highly accurate temperature stability.  A sample in the measurement well that is controlled from both the top and bottom affords the most accurate measurement at a required temperature.

Refractometer Models – 10 Models with dozens of application specific options.

Rudolph understands your measurement applications and provides the needed instruments and configurations to meet your requirements. Application requirements may be dictated by regulatory agencies, quality control demands, or sample handling concerns. Refractometers may also be utilized in conjunction with other instruments for multiple measurements – load one sample to receive multiple measurement results. Sample delivery may also automated with or without other instruments for a complete Laboratory Automation solution designed to increase efficiency in your laboratory.
