Refractometers & Polarimeters

Refractometers and polarimeters are widely used for the measurement of refractive index and optical rotation. We supply a large range of handheld and benchtop products available from two leading manufacturers–Bellingham + Stanley and Schmidt+Haensch. These instruments can be used in a variety of applications, such as in the food, beverage, pharmaceutical, chemical, and petroleum industries.

Handheld refractometers are low-cost, portable instruments for ‘on the spot’ determination of Refractive Index (RI) of liquid media. Available in digital or manual units, they are suitable for use in a variety of applications, such as food, sugar, starch, honey, or salt, as well as chemical blend samples.

Benchtop laboratory refractometers provide a precise measurement of concentration and purity. Between Bellingham + Stanley and Schmidt+Haensch, a wide range of refractometers are available to suit any budget and application. These refractometers are simple and easy to use, specially designed for food and beverage, pharmaceutical, research and development, and demanding production labs in chemical and petroleum industries.

Whether you need a high quality, general polarimeter or one that is configured to meet your unique specifications, our range of Bellingham + Stanley and Schmidt+Haensch polarimeters has the right one to fit your budget and application needs.
