Anton Parr Abbemat 550 refractometer

Abbemat 550 Performance Plus Line Refractometer

Abbemat digital refractometers allow fast and non-destructive refractive index measurements. They are factory calibrated with official standards from the Physikalisch-Technische Bundesanstalt (PTB, National Metrology Institute of Germany). Refractive index results from Abbemat 550 are accurate to ± 0.00002 nD. The Abbemat 550 refractometers are set up conveniently using intuitive touchscreen navigation.

Easy operation

• A reminder for test measurements or adjustments can be set at user-defined intervals
• Automatic warning if the sample volume is not large enough for a valid measurement
• No sample preparation, readings within seconds
• A quick wipe cleans the prism after each measurement

Compliance and traceability

• Full compliance with 21 CFR Part 11
• Compliant with international standards such as ASTM, ICUMSA, OIML, AOAC, DIN/ISO, FDA, ISI, JIS and pharmacopoeias
• History and current status of results via the result memory
• Adjustment and check history, check intervals and validity checks for each measurement
