Laboratory Refractometer: Abbemat Advanced
Manage your lab with efficiency: The Abbemat Advanced series laboratory refractometers achieve precise, consistent measurements in busy and automated labs.

Manufacturer: Anton Paar — Austria
Overview
Manage your lab with efficiency: The Abbemat Advanced series laboratory refractometers achieve precise, consistent measurements in busy and automated labs. Conduct sample-specific measurements according to your SOPs. Implement the instruments into multi-parameter measuring systems, and equip them with an autosampler to avoid errors and boost your lab efficiency. Straightforward integration of these laboratory refractometers into IT networks and data management via Anton Paar Connect ensures data integrity and fast access in paperless labs.
Complete Qualification of your Laboratory Refractometer
Performance qualification and regular control of measuring equipment does not stop at verification of the refractive index. Anton Paar also includes the second important measuring parameter: temperature. Correct temperature readings of your automatic refractometer are confirmed by Anton Paar service engineers with the patented T-Check system:
- Traceable temperature check and adjustment on-site
- Most precise prism-surface temperature measurement
- Prevention of temperature-induced errors
- Documentation and certificate
Error Prevention via User Guidance
User rights management ensures operators only get access to the functionality they need for their job. Settings can only be changed with corresponding privileges.
Routine measurements are organized by sample/product, with locked settings and pass/fail criteria defined by your SOPs.
Check-intervals can be set to prove system suitability.
Networked Data Management Options
Abbemat laboratory refractometers can export file-based data straight to defined network folders.
The Abbemat Advanced series, like other instruments from Anton Paar, can be connected to our lab execution software AP Connect. It provides simple and secure data workflows in laboratories for single or multiple instruments via a centralized digital hub. This ensures paperless efficiency and data integrity in a central MS-SQL database.
Efficiency via Combination with other Anton Paar Instruments and Laboratory Solutions
Abbemat Advanced laboratory refractometers blend into automated and networked laboratory workflows and improve their efficiency:
- Auto-sampler
- Multi-parameter measuring systems
- Over 200 pre-installed methods for quick concentration measurements
