Polarimeter

A polarimeter is an instrument employed for measuring the optical rotation of a substance. By determining optical rotation, the polarimeter enables the analysis of a substance's concentration, content, and purity. It is utilized for calculating the concentration of solutions containing substances such as sugars and oils. This versatile tool finds applications across numerous domains within the organic chemical industry.

Frequently Asked Questions

What is a Polarimeter?

A Polarimeter is an apparatus used to determine optical rotation of a substance.

How does Polarimeter work?

It works by passing plane-polarized light through a sample that rotates the plane of polarization, and then rotation angle is measured.

What kinds of substances can be measured using Polarimeter?

Optically active substances such as chiral compounds including amino acids, DNA & carbohydrates can be measured using Polarimeter.

What are optically active substances?

Optically active substances are compounds that can rotate the plane of polarized light due to their chiral molecular structure.

What is the role of temperature control in case of Polarimeter?

Temperature control plays an important role in case of Polarimeter as the specific rotation of substances is temperature dependent.

Can Polarimeter handle both high & low concentration samples?

It can handle high as well as low concentration samples in a reliable manner.
