Cells and Calibration Standards

Product catalog summary
Overview: This technical bulletin from Rudolph Research Analytical provides comprehensive information on cells and calibration standards for automatic polarimeters, covering specifications, procedures, and recommendations for use and maintenance.
Temperature Control Solutions: Rudolph offers two temperature control solutions: the patented TempTrol™ technology, which eliminates the need for a water bath and ensures precise temperature measurement within ±0.2°C, and traditional water bath temperature control.
Cell Design and Advantages: The polarimeter cells are designed to minimize air bubbles and enhance measurement stability, featuring stainless steel screw ends with smaller apertures to prevent light disturbance. The design facilitates easy cleaning and maintenance.
Filling and Cleaning Procedures: The cells are designed for easy filling and cleaning, with the Fill Station™ accessory ensuring an air bubble-free sample. Compressed air and acetone are recommended for cleaning.
Calibration Standards: Various sample cells, including TempTrol™, ceramic, and stainless steel options, are available with detailed specifications for each type, including dimensions and sample volumes.
Quartz Calibration Standards: TempTrol™ Quartz Plates allow for temperature control and correction, while standard Quartz Plates allow for temperature correction only. Calibration values are provided for multiple wavelengths, ensuring traceability to NIST standards.
Recommendations: Ceramic quartz polarimeter sample cells are recommended for laboratories working with corrosive samples. The bulletin emphasizes selecting the appropriate cell type for specific applications and offers customer support for selection assistance.
Quartz Plates Overview: Quartz Plates are available in single and three rotation types, calibrated in degrees Arc and degrees ISS/Z. They consist of left (levo) and right (dextro) turning Quartz Plates, with a reported uncertainty of ±0.002° Arc at 589 nm.
Manufacturing Standards: Quartz Control Plates are manufactured to NIST and ICUMSA standards, providing a permanent calibration standard. They meet specific planeness, parallelism, purity, and axis standards, and include a calibration label for 11 wavelengths and a NIST Traceable Certificate.
Sampling Cells: Various sampling cells are offered for different applications, including continuous sampling, pour-in sampling with temperature correction, and micro volumes for HPLC. Options for acid-resistant materials like Ceramic Quartz and Silco Steel are available.
Cell Selection and Compatibility: With over 50 cell options, Rudolph Research Analytical provides solutions for diverse applications. The Autopol® polarimeter accepts sample cells from 10mm to 200mm long, offering increased sensitivity for small rotation solutions.
Calibration and Recalibration: Quartz Control Plates are calibrated by Rudolph Research Analytical and traceable to NIST. Recalibration is recommended every two to three years due to optical stability. TempTrol™ Quartz Plates offer automatic temperature control with compatible polarimeters.
Specifications and Accuracy: Standard rotations and accuracy for Quartz Control Plates are provided at 589 nm, with specific degrees Arc and ISS/Z values. The accuracy is maintained at ±0.002° Arc and ±0.01°Z (ISS).

Rudolph Research Polarimeter Sample Cells Sample will appear here The sample is injected in upper outlet port. with a Luer Syringe into the lower inlet port as seen here. Rudolph Research Polarimeter Sample Cells are designed to be easily filled and cleaned. When held at the correct angle and filled using the lower inlet port, the cell is filled with almost no possibility of leaving an air bubble in the cell. Filling from the lower inlet port forces any air bubbles up and out of the upper outlet port. Rudolph cells are unlike other manufacturers cells as they are uniquely designed to keep small...

Cells That Meet The Most Demanding Applications Selection With over 50 cells to choose from, Rudolph Research Analytical has a cell to meet every application. AUTOPOL® Accepts Sample Cells from 10mm to 200mm Long Some polarimeters accept only special sample cells, with maximum lengths of 100mm. The Autopol® accepts cells up to 200mm long. A 200mm sample cell offers twice the sensitivity when measuring the same solution in a 100mm cell. This additional optical path length is especially useful for solutions having small rotations. For precious samples and essential oils with large optical rotations,...
