Overview

The most stringent
pharmaceutical requirements

Unmatched Accuracy: ± 0.0003° Arc

For Racemic Solutions and very low concentration samples, the Autopol® VI provides unmatched 4th decimal optical rotation accuracy of ±0.0003°Arc over ±1°Arc. Instrument performance for readings between -1 and 1° Arc is: Resolution ±0.0001, Reproducibility ±0.0002, and Accuracy ±0.0003.

The Industry Standard Polarimeter

The Autopol® V PLUS and Autopol® VI have the validation tools and features to satisfy today’s global pharmaceutical companies, including: instrument level 21CFR Part 11 compliance, NIST traceable calibration standards and a global list of installations. Rudolph Research has thousands of satisfied customers who praise the Autopol® V PLUS and Autopol® VI quality, accuracy and reproducibility.

The AUTOPOL® IV and V by Rudolph
Simply the Best

Full Compliance
21CFR Part 11

The Autopol® V 21CFR Part 11 software module is easily enabled through the user-friendly touch screen. This module gives you full compliance with:

  • Electronic signature
  • Access levels
  • Internal write-protected storage
  • Unique passwords
  • Write protected documents sent directly to server
  • Audit trail

Multiple
Wavelengths

The AUTOPOL® V Automatic Digital Polarimeter comes standard with six wavelengths: 365nm, 405nm, 436nm, 546nm, 589nm, 633nm. Wavelength selection is completely automatic and is accomplished by the push of a button. There are no lamps or filters to manually remove or insert.

The tungsten-halogen lamp employed in the AUTOPOL® V Polarimeter is a compact, reliable, low-cost, high-intensity light source that allows any desired wavelength in the visible spectrum to be selected by means of a narrow band multilayer interference filter. The AUTOPOL® standard 10nm bandwidth is specified to permit high energy throughput and sensitivity for sample transmittances of only 0.01 % (O. D. = 4), while minimizing the effects of sample ORD and color.

Temperature
Display and Correction

The AUTOPOL® IV Automatic Essential Oils Polarimeter comes standard with a temperature probe which can be inserted into the Polarimeter cell as shown to the left. The temperature of either the sample compartment or the solution itself can be continuously displayed.

Print Format
Format

Numerous parameters, such as sample name, tube length, concentration, wavelength, time and date, temperature correction and statistics can be printed after each polarimeter measurement or after a group of measurements. This is accomplished by designating the required parameters, via menu entry, during the print format setup mode. A sample printout is shown below.

The Rudolph
FillStationTM

Many users prefer to load cells with samples outside of the Polarimeter. When this fits with your workflow, Rudolph has engineered a tool to assist you, the Rudolph Polarimeter FillStationTM. Designed to sit on your laboratory bench or under your fume hood and assist you in loading your Rudolph Polarimeter cell easily and reliably, the FillStationTM holds the cell at the right angle, so you always fill the cell from bottom to top. Using a syringe, you inject the sample until it begins to appear at the top port. Once filled, the monitoring light will become bright, and you know you have a full cell free of air bubbles that is ready for measurement. Cap, the Top Cell Port, remove the syringe, cap the Lower Port and go!

  • The cell is held at the right angle and filled from the bottom just the way Rudolph cells were designed to be filled. Perfect every time.
  • Filling from the bottom to top moves any air with the potential to cause a bubble up and out of the cell.
  • Once you see the monitoring light go to bright there is no question that the cell is properly filled.
  • Verification of air free sample loading for even inexperienced operators.
  • Helps eliminate contact with acids, bases, or any sample the user does not want to come in contact with.
  • Less experienced operators can learn to reliably fill cells with minimal training.
