The ADS420 Saccharimeter is a purpose built polarimeter designed for use in the sugar industry. It can be used as a single measurement instrument or may be connected to a refractometer via a PC to form a Purity System.

The ADS420 Saccharimeter is a low cost automatic polarimeter specifically designed for use in busy sugar laboratories and tare houses. Operation is very simple by way of four graphically presented push buttons and therefore requires no on-screen language interpretation. The ADS420 is available in two formats, either as a standard package with glass polarimeter tube or as a funnel flow package for repetitive testing. PC software is included with each package, allowing simultaneous measurement of Brix by refractometer1 to calculate PURITY. A robust touch sensitive LCD screen is available as an optional extra for use with the PC1.

Unlike other low cost polarimeters, the ADS420 uses an LED light source that requires no maintenance. A single temperature sensor provides the measurement for sugar compensation whilst quartz compensation facilitates accurate verification and calibration using a quartz control plate by accessing the span facility in the setup menu. Latest specification electronics within the instrument allows measurement of samples with low transmittance and should a sample be too dark or has entrapped air, the instrument will display an error message. Results are continually measured and displayed allowing easy assessment of stability. With an accuracy to ±0.03 °Z, the ADS420 is compliant to the minimum requirements of ICUMSA for sodium wavelength analysis of clarified sugar cane juice and processed sugar.
