Fast, reliable measurement:
- Measurement of low-viscous to slightly viscous samples
- Measurement with manual measurement time input or optimized measurement time thanks to automatic stability recognition
- Multiple measurements with averaging
- Statistical analysis
Unlimited number of methods:
- Measurement modes: single, continuous or interval measurement
- Method parameters such as scales, temperature, temperature compensation, sample supply, limit values, comments
- Alarm option for monitoring the limit values of standards and samples
- Pre-defined scales such as %Brix sucrose, %Brix invert sugar, %Brix glucose, %Brix fructose
- More than 100 additional scales available on request
Temperature control as required:
The built-in Peltier element makes it possible to control the temperature of samples within a range of 10 to 80 C in order to be decoupled from external temperature influences. The selected temperature has a very high accuracy of up to 0.01 C ensuring the comparability and reproducibility of the measurement results. An extremely homogeneous temperature control also rules out any measurement deviations due to temperature gradients. In addition, our temperature control offers short heating and cooling times; temperature changes between 20 C and 70 C are achieved in less four minutes.
Automation:
- All DR6000-TF models are capable of semi-automatic or fully automatic functions. The semi-automatic operation re-quires the DR6000-TF models with flow-through function, flow-through measuring cell, drying unit DS7060 and a peristaltic pump DS7070, which draws the sample or the cleaning agent into the measuring cell. Thanks to the 3/2-way valve of the drying unit, you do not need to interchange the tubes when switching from the sample supply or the cleaning to the drying.
- For full automation, The DR6000-TF models with through-flow function, flow-through measuring cell, drying unit DS7060, peristaltic pump DS7070 and auto-sampler AS80 or AS90 allow for a fully automated operation. The samples are taken from the vials of the autosampler and drawn into the measuring cell by the pump. If needed, the system can be automatically rinsed and dried after each measurement.
