Unparalleled temperature control - without a water bath. The PTR range of refractometers has been engineered for high accuracy, excellent temperature stability, reliability, and ease of use. The temperature range is controlled electronically using a Peltier cell, removing need for an external thermocirculator; resulting in significant cost, space, and energy savings. For higher accuracy see the PTR 2X.

All PTR refractometers are supplied with a hinged cover, which insulates the sample and excludes ambient light. Optionally, the PTR can be supplied with various cells that have been designed to provide rapid, convenient semi-automatic or automatic sampling while maintaining analytical accuracy and thermal stability.

An optional funnel/flow cell is available. This model is perfect for all samples that easily pass through a 5.5mm bore tube. Its hinged locking mechanism for easy cleaning is another advantage. Just right for volatile samples or samples that are undesirable to handle. Can be filled using a small volume syringe or use the GPR 12-70 with an AutoSampler and Index Pump 300 peristaltic pump.

Sample quantity required depends on the sample: about 10 ml to 20ml for flushing. Static volume approximately 3.5ml including immediate piping.

An optional funnel cell is available. This cell is exceptionally useful for situations where a large number of similar samples have to be measured. This cell is designed to ensure complete rapid flushing.
