MCP-FillingCheck™ – Technology for Improved Data Security in Polarimetry

To obtain a reproducible measurement in polarimetry error-free cell filling has to be guaranteed. Especially critical are air bubbles and mixture effects which are caused by changes in the concentration and temperature. Since the introduction of sample cells made of steel for the optimization of temperature control using Peltier elements the user can no longer check the error-free filling. This can lead to an incorrect determination of the sample concentration and resulting calculation of the specific rotation [α T L].
