Automatic Saccharimeter: MCP 300/500 Sucromat
MCP 300/500 Sucromat is the state-of-the-art saccharimeter providing highly accurate analysis of °Z (International Sugar Scale) for the sugar industry. While MCP 300 measures at 589 nm, MCP 500 measures at two wavelengths: 589 nm and 880 nm. At 880 nm MCP 500 can measure strongly colored filtrates which cannot be measured in the visible range. Over 30 years of experience and highest quality in development, production and customer support has made Anton Paar saccharimeters the standard in sugar analysis. Their modular design allows customer-specific configurations and future upgrades. The MCP 500 Sucromat (VIS/NIR model) measures both conventionally prepared samples and samples prepared without lead. The latter frequently produce colored filtrates that are too dark for measurement at visible (VIS) wavelengths, but transparent enough for near infrared (NIR) light, at which extremely dark samples can be analyzed. The method, based on NIR polarimetry, is applicable to all raw sugars, white sugars, and speciality sugars that require clarification. The MCP 300 Sucromat is an automatic saccharimeter with an internal resolution of 0.001 °Optical Rotation corresponding to 0.003 °Z International Sugar Scale.
