Schmidt & Haensch – Polarimeter
Precision, coupled with modern design, robust materials, and an unrivaled longevity is what our laboratory polarimeters stand for. Our technology is intelligent and connectable. You can access, store, and retrieve lab data from anywhere. SCHMIDT + HAENSCH, founded in 1864, offers a variety of polarimeter models based on decades of experience. The modular concept allows each customer to compile a custom-configured polarimeter including accessories.
Benchtop polarimeters developed and manufactured by SCHMIDT + HAENSCH are integrated in laboratories worldwide to reliably measure the ratio, the purity, and the concentration of enantiomeric mixtures.
