Advanced polarimeter ideal for precise optical and chemical analyses.
The Perkin Elmer 343 Polarimeter provides an essential tool for assessing and analyzing optically active substances. It is extensively utilized for characterizing newly synthesized compounds, quality control of pharmaceutical drugs, performing precise quantitative analysis of sugars, selectively detecting optically active components by HPLC, and monitoring enzymatic reactions.
This automatic precision polarimeter operates on an optical null principle with analyzer rotation and automatic gain control. It features a Na spectral lamp for radiation, with selectable Na 589 nm spectral lines. The instrument allows for configurable apertures suited for standard cells and microcells, while the detection is managed by the photomultiplier 1P28A, supported by Vis-transmitting polarizers.
The polarimeter boasts a rotatory range of ± 85° and a balancing speed reaching up to 1.5°/s. It achieves remarkable accuracy of ± 0.002° for rotations ≤1º, and ± 0.2% for those exceeding 1°. Reproducibility surpasses expectations with a better-than 0.002° mark.
Users benefit from internal angular resolution at 1 x 10^-4º, and a variety of integration times ranging from 0.1s to 100s. The autozero setting is conveniently executed electronically and supports interaction in multiple languages via integrated touch-keys or through PC-controlled software, such as POL WinLab.
The stand-alone operation is facilitated by a vacuum fluorescence display. Results are provided in a variety of formats, including angular rotation, specific rotation, molar rotation, and custom scales.
With dimensions of 825 x 310 x 390 mm and weighing 40 kg, the Perkin Elmer 343 is designed for universal applicability in sophisticated settings demanding accuracy and reliability.
Lab equipment markets are fragmented. Buyers spend weeks calling distributors, comparing quotes, and verifying supplier reliability. Sellers struggle to reach global research labs.
We built Questpair to fix this. Every supplier on the platform is verified before listing. Every quote you receive comes from a real, vetted seller. AI prepares your case in minutes, then a real specialist takes over.
We're an independent team based in The Netherlands, working with research labs and procurement teams across Europe and worldwide.
With a service contract, ten to fifteen years is normal for most benchtop instruments. Detectors and pumps are the parts that wear first.
Often, yes. Verified suppliers frequently work with service partners converting the instrument. If applicable, we can list servicing options alongside the offer.
Ask a scientist through the request button. Parts are often available even when the instrument itself is discontinued.
Two to six weeks, depending on refurbishment scope and whether calibration is included.
We ship to 38 countries. Crating and customs handling are quoted with the instrument.
Tell us what you need and a scientist finds it for you, usually within the hour.
