The AUTOPOL® 589, 880, 880 Plus, and 880T Automatic Digital Saccharimeters provide 0.01°Z repeatability and accuracy, time proven measurement technology and the critical features necessary for today’s sugar analysis.
Saccharimeters with the features Sugar Chemists DemandRudolph Research Analytical knows that Sugar Technologists around the world demand 24 hour operation, 7 days a week. Regardless of the accuracy and budget demands, Rudolph Research has a solution. The reason we understand the sugar industry’s demands and requirements is because Rudolph has been serving the industry since 1940. Throughout those fifty plus years of service, Rudolph has dedicated itself to manufacturing quality instrumentation and providing superior technical and service support, both directly and through its worldwide dealer network. This dedication is demonstrated by Rudolph’s installed base of over 5,000 instruments worldwide, with many of those instruments still in operation after 25 years of service. |

Dual WavelengthsThe most important feature of the AUTOPOL® models IIZ, 880, 880 Plus and 880T are their ability to measure at two wavelengths: 589 nm and 880 nm (NIR). Select 589 nm for conventional analysis using chemicals or lead clarifiers, or select 880 nm for polarimetric sugar measurements in the near infrared (NIR). 880 nm is above the absorption level of most dark sugar factory solutions allowing measurement of filtered but non-lead clarified juices. The dark sample measurement bar gets darker in proportion to the darkness of the sample being measured. When the bar is completely dark the instrument has reached its measurement limit. |

Dilution and Cell Length CorrectionWhether your sugar analysis requires a 25mm, 50mm, 100 mm or 200 mm cell, whether you use 1/2 normal (13g/100ml), 1/4 normal (6.5g/100ml) or full weight sugar solutions, the AUTOPOL® 589, 880, 880 Plus and 880T saccharimeters provide the correct multiplier to display the reading as if the sample were prepared as a 1 normal solution in a 200 mm optical pathlength cell. |

Automatic Saccharimeter CalibrationCalibrating the AUTOPOL® is quick and simple. First, place a Rudolph Quartz Control Plate calibration standard on the optical rails and enter the Quartz Plate value in the appropriate window. Second, enter the temperature to correct the measurement to either the ICUMSA standard temperature of 20°C or the Tropical reference temperature of 27.5°C. Third, press 2 buttons and calibration is complete. (See Technical Bulletin 913 for more details on Rudolph Calibration Standards) |
