4 Accessories Details
4.1 Magnetic Sample Cover
Abbemat 3X00 Abbemat 200/300/500 Abbemat 350/550 Abbemat 450/650 Juice Station
The magnetic sample cover should be used, if the sample contains volatile substance, which could easily evaporate.
The magnetic force assures an equal and sufficient pressure to the O-ring, which seals the measuring area to avoid
evaporation of volatile matter.

Flow cells are used for measurements of liquids, e.g. in bypass installations in a laboratory. The flow cell can be
automatically filled by a suitable pump. The next sample will replace the previous one, so that no manual cleaning
of the measuring prism is required in between.

The microliter adapter is used for measurement of very small sample volumes down to 7 µl. The sample is filled into
the funnel shaped cone and will be centered on the measuring prism, where the measurement takes place.

Abbemat 450/650
This flow cell allows measurement of temperature sensitive samples in a flow without changing the sample
temperature during the measurement. The sample temperature is measured at the cell inlet. The measuring area is
immediately controlled to this sample inlet temperature assuring a measurement of the sample without sample
temperature change during the measurement.

Important Note: The flow cell has to be ordered together with the Abbemat 450/650, because the measuring unit
needs to be modified for this cell. An upgrade at site is not possible.
For operation with an Abbemat 350/550 a separate housing for the Xsample 520 is required. Two housing options
are offered:
1. Xsample ME housing to be ordered from Anton Paar OptoTec GmbH in Germany (see below)
2. or the docking station (mat. No. 219027) to be ordered from Anton Paar GmbH headquarter in Austria.

The cover protects the housing from damage and dirt, extending the working life of the refractometer.

With this software you can operate the Abbemat refractometers via an
external computer and store raw data straight on the PC.
The desktop software is linked to a particular instrument via its serial
number and PCB board number. You need an authorization code to
unlock the desktop software functionality on the particular Abbemat.

5 Abbemat MW Accessoires
These accessories are also suitable for the discontinued Abbemat HP/WR/WR-HT/RXA 156/170 models.
The Abbemat MW is equipped with the standard wavelength of 589 nm. Up to 7 further wavelengths (interference
filters) can be installed to the Abbemat. The additional wavelengths have to be installed in the factory. Therefore,
they should be ordered together with the instrument. A later update would be possible but at high initial costs and
therefore is not recommended.
Note:
The mentioned wavelengths are nominal wavelength, the true wavelengths may differ due to the production
tolerances of the supplier. However, the Abbemat MW will indicate and use the true wavelengths.

The sample presser can be used for solid samples, e.g. plastic
films, contact lenses, etc. It ensures a coplanar orientation of the
sample on the prism, even if the sample is flexible.

This sample cover could be used if a sample should be measured “in between” and the installed accessory, e.g. a
flow cell, should not be dismantled from the cell holder. Just flap the cell holder back to use the sample cover. This
sample cover operates as a light shader to avoid that ambient light is entering the optical system and has no O-ring.
