This practical laboratory density meter featuring a compact design from SCHMIDT + HAENSCH delivers precise and reliable density measurements. Utilizing the proven oscillating U-tube principle, the VariDens enables accurate density and concentration measurements of food products, pharmaceuticals, chemicals, and petrochemicals.
Our density meter elevates the established SCHMIDT + HAENSCH technology to a new level by combining it with innovative enhancements and the full range of technical features of the VariFamily.
Modular operation with connection to your internet browser on a tablet or any device of your choice
Intuitive user interface
Multi-user concept
Fast temperature control
Easy cleaning
Maintenance-free
Compliant with 21 CFR Part 11
ELN/LIMS integration possible
The VariRef combines proven SCHMIDT + HAENSCH technology with the modularity of the VariFamily. Thanks to the Aquisys 3 software, the VariDens can be used by multiple users simultaneously: while laboratory technicians perform measurements, laboratory managers can review and approve the data at the same time.
The modular display can also be connected to additional devices of the VariSeries and combined flexibly as required.
SCHMIDT + HAENSCH offers reliable solutions for density and concentration measurement in the food and beverage industry, pharmaceuticals, chemicals, cosmetics, petrochemicals, and many other industries. When ordering the pharmaceutical version of the VariDens, you receive all required documentation, options, and methods to comply with FDA regulation 21 CFR Part 11. Multiple reference tables, high-resolution density measurement, and modern interfaces such as USB, serial connection, and Ethernet ensure the reliable use of the VariDens even in the most demanding applications.
All of our laboratory instruments are manufactured from durable materials. Thanks to its compact design, as well as the integrated drying cartridge and air pump within the housing, the VariDens features an especially robust and resilient construction.
