Hello Linda and Richard,
We have had our Rudolph Research Autopol V for over 5 years. We replaced our old Perkin-Elmer instrument which was about 15 years old. The Autopol V has performed very well throughout the entire 5 years. We use the 589nm wavelength most often but also use the 365nm and 325nm wavelengths. Naturally the instrument is the center of our satisfaction. We have liked the stable readings the units gives, the long life of the light source (we are still on our original bulb) and also like the variety of polarimeter cells offered by Rudolph. The Temp-Trol is also a helpful feature for getting just the right temperature. We are very happy with our Autopol and would recommend one to any lab considering a purchase of an automated polarimeter.
