ATR-P
High Performance Refractometer
TheATR-P is a critical angle refractometer specially designed for applications in the sugar industry. The complete system consists of the ATR-P measuring head and the “L-Controller” electronic unit or the ATR-P measuring head can be connected to a PC or laptop. The user-friendly “Aquisys Basic” PC software is included with the basic configuration.

- For permanent use in production laboratories
- High performance and accuracy even in a rugged environment
- Easy handling of the sample compartment
- Measurement of sedimentary samples possible
- Easy calibration
- GLP/GMP
- LIMS integration
- Data storage space for over a thousand products, each including all measuring methods
- 21 CFR part 11 conformity
Like all devices from SCHMIDT + HAENSCH, this refractometer is easy to use and delivers highly accurate and reproducible measurement results. Depending on the application, the ATR-P enables both individual and flow measurement. The measuring head can be placed both vertically and horizontally to the sample space. Since the measuring head can be used in both a horizontal and a vertical position, liquid samples with solids can also be measured, making the ATR-P ideal for quality control of liquids such as fruit juice. Calibration can easily be done with a sucrose solution. The measuring head of the ATR-P can be connected to a PC or laptop. Documentation according to GLP / GMP is part of the proven Schmidt + Haensch quality. In addition, the integrated Aquisys 2 software guarantees compliance with 21 CFR part 11.
