The FillingCheck™ camera inside the sample cell sees more than the human eye: An image of the inside of the sample is saved along with the measurement as proof of the measurement conditions. Intelligent sample cells and quartz platesThe Toolmaster™ technology saves you time and prevents errors when exchanging sample cells and quartz control plates. Cell and quartz plate data as well as temperature values are fast and securely transferred to the instrument. This provides traceable documentation of the measurements. Optimal temperature conditions for accurate resultsPowerful Peltier temperature control ensures a quick thermal equilibrium and a homogenous temperature distribution in the sample. This is the basis for accurate results and short measuring times. Quick startup after purchaseAfter purchase, the polarimeter is set up, qualified and validated within a short period of time, using Anton Paar's qualification and validation package. Ready for all applicationsWith over 50 sample cells available, you are equipped for every application. First-class Technology … Intelligent sample cells and quartz plates >> Toolmaster™ technology When the sample cell or quartz control plate is connected, the MCP polarimeter detects it immediately. All relevant data are transferred by cable or wirelessly. The instrument automatically uses the right cell length and temperature data from the cell to process the measuring value. In addition, the software checks whether the sample cell is suitable for the selected method. As the sample cell length or temperature no longer have to be entered by the operator, Toolmaster™ saves time and prevents incorrect settings. Measurements are therefore fast, clearly documented and traceable, as e.g. specified by 21 CFR Part 11.
With this intelligent Toolmaster™ technology, calibration and adjustment of the polarimeter no longer require tables and manual data entry. The Toolmaster™ memory chip on the quartz control plate contains all the relevant calibration data, which are automatically transferred into the instrument. The software will guide you through the quick and automated adjustment process. Optimal thermal conditions for accurate results>> Peltier temperature control Precise temperature control is the basis for accurate results. MCP uses powerful Peltier elements, which eliminate the need for a thermostatic water bath. In the MCP polarimeter a thick Peltier jacket encloses the sample cell, heating or cooling the sample uniformly from all sides. The large surface for heat conduction into and out of the cell ensures the whole sample reaches thermal equilibrium after a very short time. MCP's highly efficient Peltier system automatically controls the sample temperature in the range from 15 °C to 45 °C.
Built-in trust in the results>> FillingCheck™ MCP has a built-in camera (optional) which gives you a real-time image of the sample in the cell during and after filling. You can see bubbles or streaks in the image more clearly than with the human eye and can intervene if necessary. Each filling process can be monitored and photographed. The image is automatically stored along with the result, giving traceable documentation of the measurement conditions even after years. … First-class Measurements The right color for your measurement>> Multiple wavelength option The MCP is equipped with the standard wavelength 589 nm. Other wavelengths in the UV/VIS/NIR ranges are available at the time of purchase or can be added at a later date at your location. This means you will always be able to meet your requirements and only need validate the wavelengths you actually require. The use of high-quality interference filters with small bandwidths eliminates the need for different spectral lamps. While measuring, the wavelengths can be changed automatically within seconds by simply selecting them via the user interface.
Ready for all applications>> Over 50 sample cells Choose from more than 50 sample cells ranging from 1.0 mm to 200 mm path length. Sample cells are available with different volumes. To fill the cells you can use integrated filling funnels, syringe ports, or hose outlets depending on your application. Choose from stainless steel or hastelloy for corrosive samples, or glass. Each type of sample cell is delivered with detailed documentation regarding material and compliance. Custom-made sample cells are available on request.
Quick startup after purchase>> Qualification and validation package To get your polarimeter verified for the daily work as quickly as possible, Anton Paar provides a qualification and validation package which is particularly useful for companies in the pharmaceutical and chemical industries. This package includes Risk Analysis, Design Qualification, Installation Qualification, Operational Qualification, Performance Qualification, Traceability Matrix, user training and qualified support on-site. Solid, Stable, Strong [1] Mechanical stability = reliable measurements for years The polarimeter is an optical system which needs to be stable under all conditions, for example when there are changes in ambient temperature and humidity. It also has to withstand knocks, vibrations, and dust. The optical bench is the base on which all the optical components are mounted. MCP's optical bench is machined from one solid block of aluminum and fixed on flexible mounts. It does not ever bend, twist or pull out of shape. MCP delivers stable measurement values based on the sturdy grounding of this block. The results are not affected by shaking, vibration, load, dust, temperature or humidity. There is no drift of the values over time: values measured today are completely comparable with values measured one year ago.
[2] Simple light source replacement MCP is equipped with a tungsten halogen lamp with a long working life of around 2000 hours. Replacement is simple and requires no special knowledge of electrical engineering as the voltage is low. The lamp is located in a separate compartment so the instrument itself does not need to be opened to replace it. This keeps service costs at a minimum and reduces downtime.
[3] Intelligent light adjustment for dark and The lamp current is regulated automatically according to the darkness of the sample. When measuring dark samples, the current is boosted up so that enough light reaches the detector. For clear samples, the current for the lamp is turned down to increase its working life. [4] Protected components Sensitive optical and electronic components like the analyzer, interference filters, the hollow shaft encoder and photodiode are located in a sealed housing which is resistant to dust and spills.
Clever Construction [5] Accuracy over the whole measuring MCP gives you high angular resolution and accuracy across the entire measuring range. The angular resolution is needed for measuring low concentrations, small concentration changes, substances with low specific rotation and dark samples requiring short sample cells. The MCP measures in the range from +89.99° to -89.99° optical rotation, which covers 100 % of all measuring requirements.
[6] Temperature sensors close to the To ensure precise temperature control of the sample up to an accuracy of ±0.03 °C and resolution of up to ±0.01 °C, MCP has high-quality temperature sensors built into its sample cells. These sensors are positioned close to the sample to prevent thermal gradients. This is particularly important for samples whose optical rotation is strongly temperature-dependent. [7] Protective housing The MCP housing protects the sensors from spilled liquids, mechanical influences and dust. A large, easy-to-open flap gives you convenient access to the sample cell area and makes it easy to exchange sample cells or insert quartz control plates. The measuring compartment is resistant to spills and equipped with a large drain.
[8] Easily accessible communication MCP is easily integrated into existing LIMS systems via RS232. It has a VGA port, Ethernet port, and 4 USB ports for connecting a bar code reader, keyboard, mouse, printer or USB stick. Three of these USB connections are on the side of the polarimeter for easy access when connecting external accessories. There is also a CAN bus connection for adding an Abbemat refractometer. [9] Intuitive user interface MCP has been designed with the user in mind. The built-in software is intuitive and guides you through measurements and calibration step-by-step. You can choose to operate MCP via the touchscreen or the softkeys positioned around the screen. The softkeys are ideal for operation in harsh industrial environments or when wearing gloves.

An MCP polarimeter can be used for the quality control and purity determi-nation of starch and starch-based products, such as HFCS (High Fructose Corn Syrup), dextrose or corn syrup. It is therefore essential in the quality control of these substances.
In food production, incoming raw materials and finished products are characterized and tested for purity with MCP polarimeters in combined setups with Abbemat refractometers.
Gels undergo sol-gel transitions as a function of temperature, composition, solvent exchange with the environment and other external parameters. To determine the gel-sol transition in optically active samples (e.g. gelatine) MCP with automatic Peltier temperature control can be used for precise stepwise heating around the transition temperature of the product.
MCP can be used to characterize honey by identifying the carbohydra-te composition. The different optical activity of the carbohydrates in the honey also gives insight into the product quality. Good quality honey will show a low content of sucrose but a high content of glucose/fructose.

➤ Penicillin has a specific rotation of 223°. Can that be measured with an MCP polarimeter which has a measuring range of ±89.9°? Yes. ➤ What about fructose with a specific rotation of -92°? Yes.
How does that work? The specific rotation is a characteristic property of the optically The specific rotation is the optical rotation for a concentration of active substance, whereas the optical rotation is the actually 1g/100 mL and a cell length of 100 mm (this is where the scale measured value of a certain sample or solution.
factor of 100 comes from). The measured optical rotation depends on the number of molecules the light beam meets while traversing the sample. For penicillin, this means that a polarimeter can already detect The more optically active molecules the light meets, the more small concentrations. For higher concentrations, shorter sample the plane of polarization of light is turned.
cells can be used so that the measured value is within ±89.9° The specific rotation as a material property is the optical rotation (this also saves sample volume, yields higher transmission and "per a certain number of molecules" the light meets. a better signal). This "certain number" of molecules which the light beam meets In order to determine the specific rotation of a substance, is determined by the cell length (the longer the cell, the more the MCP polarimeter can use a shorter sample cell than molecules the light beam meets) and the concentration (the 100 mm. A predefined method works out the scaling to higher the concentration, the more molecules the light beam 100 mm automatically.
meets). Mathematically, the measured optical rotation and the specific rotation are linked by Biot's law: Both optical and specific rotation are dependent on temperature and wavelength and are therefore quoted together with the given temperature and wavelength. This is typically 20 °C and 589.3 nm (other temperatures and wavelengths can be used if MCP has the Peltier option and multiple wavelengths option).
Where α is the observed optical rotation, is the specific rotation for a given temperature and wavelength, is the cell length in mm, c is the concentration in g/mL and 100 is a scale factor.
