Overview

Polarimeters are essential analytical instruments used to measure the angle of rotation caused by passing polarized light through optically active substances. They play a crucial role in industries such as pharmaceuticals, food processing, and chemical manufacturing, where precise measurement of optical rotation is vital for quality control and research. In New Zealand, the demand for high-accuracy polarimeters has grown across various scientific and industrial sectors due to stringent regulatory requirements and the need for reliable analytical instruments.
