Results for tag: "Polarimeter"

A polarimeter is a laboratory instrument used to measure the rotation of the plane of polarization of light passing through a sample. It is used to measure the optical activity of a substance, which is a measure of the degree to which the substance rotates the plane of polarization of light. Polarimeters are used in a variety of industries, including pharmaceuticals, food and beverage, and chemical manufacturing. Polarimeters are typically used in research and development laboratories, as well as in quality control and production laboratories. They are used to measure the optical activity of a sample, which can be used to determine the purity of a substance or to identify unknown compounds. Polarimeters are also used to measure the concentration of a substance in a solution. The polarimeter market is a subset of the larger laboratory equipment market. It is a highly competitive market, with a wide range of products available from a variety of manufacturers. Companies in the polarimeter market include Anton Paar, PerkinElmer, Mettler Toledo, and Shimadzu. Show Less Read more
