The Hanna Instruments HI96816 Digital Refractometer is the perfect tool for those who need accurate potential alcohol (% V/V) measurements for wine, must, and juice according to EEC regulations. This portable, rugged device is easy to use, with just two buttons to operate. It delivers quick results, with readings displayed within 1.5 seconds, all while automatically compensating for temperature variations according to the ICUMSA Methods Book standard.
With an accuracy of 0.2% V/V potential alcohol, the HI96816 is a reliable device that ensures measurement precision. It has a sealed flint glass prism and stainless steel well, which are straightforward to wipe clean after use. The refractometer can take measurements with as little as 2 metric drops (100 μl), making it incredibly versatile.
The HI96816 has a yellow LED light source and automatic refractometer temperature compensation between 10 to 40°C (50 to 104°F). Its measurement time is approximately 1.5 seconds, and it has a minimum sample volume requirement of just 100 μL to cover the prism completely.
This refractometer has a sugar content range of 4.9 to 56.8% V/V potential alcohol (10 to 75% Brix), with a resolution and accuracy of 0.1% V/V potential alcohol and ±0.2% V/V potential alcohol, respectively. The temperature range is 0.0 to 80.0°C (32.0 to 176.0°F), with a resolution and accuracy of 0.1°C (0.1°F) and ±0.3°C (±0.5°F), respectively.
Weighing 420 grams (14.8 oz.), the HI96816 is compact and easy to carry around with you during your workday. It has an enclosure rating of IP65, making it dust-tight and protected from water jets. It also has an automatic shut-off function that activates after three minutes of non-use to save battery life.
The Hanna Instruments HI96816 Digital Refractometer comes with a 9V battery and an instruction manual and is backed by a two-year warranty. So, if you need a reliable and accurate way to measure potential alcohol in wine, must, and juice according to EEC regulations, the HI96816 is the perfect device to add to your toolkit.
