Polarimeters

Overview

Polarimeters are precision instruments used to measure the angle of rotation caused by optically active substances. These devices are essential for applications in chemistry, pharmaceuticals, food and beverage industries, and more. In Turkey, polarimeters are particularly vital in industries such as food and beverage production, where accurate measurement of sugar content in liquids is crucial for quality control. They are also widely used in pharmaceutical research to monitor the purity and concentration of chemical compounds.
