Polarimeters – Precision Optical Rotation Measurement
Polarimeters from SCHMIDT + HAENSCH are precision optical instruments for the determination of optical rotation in optically active substances. The systems are engineered for high measurement stability, reproducibility, and compliance with regulated laboratory environments, including pharmaceutical quality control, chemical analysis, and sugar industry applications. All systems are designed for integration into validated workflows with support for GLP/GMP documentation and 21 CFR Part 11 compliant data handling, ensuring suitability for regulated production and laboratory environments.
The product portfolio comprises three distinct instrument platforms. The VariPol modular polarimeter is designed as a high-performance system for pharmaceutical and advanced laboratory applications, featuring a modular architecture with interchangeable wavelength modules, Peltier-based temperature control, and rapid measurement cycles with high optical resolution. The system supports full network integration and remote data access via laboratory information systems. The UniPol V digital polarimeter is a fully automatic entry-level instrument for routine quality control of optically active substances, particularly in food, beverage, and cosmetics applications. It operates with a long-life LED light source, integrated sample temperature monitoring, and extended measurement range capability up to ±360° for saccharimetric applications. The Saccharomat V sugar polarimeter is a dedicated high-precision instrument for sugar analysis based on quartz-wedge compensation technology, enabling long-term measurement stability without recalibration. It is optimized for ICUMSA-compliant sugar analysis, including raw sugar, refined sugar, and molasses, and supports advanced sample handling for difficult or highly absorbent samples using near-infrared measurement capability in combination with filtration systems.
VariRef
ATRV-V
HandHeld Refractometer
Refractometers – Precision Measurement of Refractive Index and Concentration
SCHMIDT + HAENSCH refractometers are high-precision optical instruments designed for the determination of refractive index and concentration in liquid and solid samples. They are widely used in pharmaceutical production, food and beverage quality control, chemical processing, petrochemical analysis, and industrial research environments. The systems are engineered for high measurement stability, fast thermal equilibration, and reliable long-term operation under continuous laboratory or production use, with full support for modern digital laboratory integration including ELN and LIMS connectivity as well as 21 CFR Part 11 compliant configurations.
The VariRef2 refractometer is a full-range analytical system capable of measuring both liquid and solid samples with high accuracy across an extended measurement range. It features multi-point calibration, integrated high-precision Peltier temperature control, and modular configuration options within the VariFamily platform. The system supports direct touchscreen operation as well as remote browser-based access for multi-user environments and is designed for seamless integration into digital laboratory infrastructures via Aquisys 3 software. The DHR Digital Handheld Refractometer is a portable instrument for rapid field and on-site measurements, delivering results within seconds with automatic temperature compensation and application-specific concentration scales. Its robust IP65-rated housing ensures reliable operation under demanding environmental conditions, making it suitable for agricultural harvesting control and routine industrial fluid checks. The ATR V/VT critical angle refractometer is designed for demanding process and laboratory applications where conventional refractometry is limited by sample color or turbidity. Based on the critical angle measurement principle, it enables direct analysis of opaque, highly viscous, or unclarified samples without prior preparation. With optional Peltier temperature control, flat sample chamber design, and full integration into Aquisys 3 software environments, the ATR V provides stable and reproducible results for process monitoring and quality control in the sugar, food, and chemical industries.
VariDens
Density Meters
VariDens density meters are high-precision instruments for measuring density, specific gravity, and concentration of liquid samples using the oscillating U-tube principle. They deliver fast, accurate, and highly reproducible results, making them suitable for pharmaceutical, chemical, food and beverage, and petrochemical quality control as well as routine laboratory analysis.
VariDens integrates seamlessly with modern laboratory workflows and digital systems. Integrated Peltier temperature control ensures stable measurement conditions and reliable accuracy, while minimal sample volume requirements and automated bubble detection support efficient operation. The system is designed for ELN and LIMS connectivity, with optional 21 CFR Part 11 compliance for regulated environments.
Operation is streamlined through a touchscreen interface and Aquisys software, enabling intuitive control, method management, and data integration. Combining robust German engineering with precise measurement performance, VariDens provides a reliable solution for continuous laboratory and industrial density analysis.
