Atago Portable Refracto-Polarimeter RePo-2

Atago Portable Refracto-Polarimeter RePo-2

Product Description

The Atago Portable Refracto-Polarimeter RePo-2 is an advanced, dual-function instrument designed to measure both refractive index (Brix) and optical rotation in a single compact unit. This cutting-edge device is widely used in industries requiring precise quality control and research, such as pharmaceuticals, food and beverage, essential oils, and chemicals.

With its automatic temperature compensation (ATC), rapid measurement speed, and digital data processing, the RePo-2 provides fast and highly accurate readings. Its portable and water-resistant design (IP65-rated) ensures reliability for both laboratory and field applications. The enhanced optical rotation measurement range makes it a more versatile version of the RePo-1, catering to a broader range of industries.
