Optically active quartz tubeThe core application scope focuses on the calibration of polarimeters and polarimeters, which ensures measurement accuracy through the optical rotation characteristics of quartz crystals
Optically active quartz tubeCore application areas:
Sugar industry
Sugar content calibration: As a recommended physical standard by the International Committee for the Unification of Sugar Analysis Methods (ICUMSA), optically active quartz tubes are used to calibrate sugar meters, ensuring the uniformity of sugar content measurement results. For example, in sucrose production, a sugar meter calibrated with a quartz tube can accurately control the concentration of syrup and improve product quality.
International comparison: Support global sugar measurement value transmission to avoid trade disputes caused by instrument errors.
pharmaceutical industry
Verification of drug optical rotation: Many drugs, such as the antibiotic chloramphenicol and the anthelmintic tetraimidazole, have optical rotation, and the optical rotation direction of their natural and synthetic components may be different (such as left-handed effective and right-handed ineffective). Polarized quartz tubes help verify drug purity and active ingredient content by calibrating polarimeters.
Quality control: Ensure that the optical activity of the drug production process meets standards and avoid the mixing of ineffective or harmful ingredients.
medical field
Biological sample detection: detecting the optical rotation characteristics of specific substances in biological samples such as blood and urine to assist in disease diagnosis. For example, changes in the optical activity of certain metabolites (such as glucose) can reflect blood glucose levels.
Chemical and Beverage Industry
Ingredient analysis: Monitor the content of optically active ingredients in chemical products (such as spices and additives) or beverages (such as juices and alcoholic beverages) to ensure product stability.
