Sugar/Brix Refractometer (0-80%), with NIST Traceable Certificate of Calibration
This versatile refractometer is an essential tool for measuring sugar concentration across a wide range of substances. With an extensive measurement scale of 0-80% Brix, it is ideal for analyzing everything from low-concentration fruit juices and beverages to high-concentration products like jams, marmalades, honey, and syrups. Its broad range also makes it the perfect choice for industrial and laboratory settings where the sugar content of a solution may be unknown.
Simple, Fast, and Accurate Readings Designed for ease of use, this portable refractometer provides immediate, reliable results without the need for batteries or any external power source. Simply place a drop or two of your liquid sample onto the prism, close the cover plate, and look through the eyepiece to read the result on the clear, easy-to-read scale. The Automatic Temperature Compensation (ATC) feature ensures that your measurements are accurate even when sample temperatures fluctuate.
How It Works A refractometer operates by measuring the refractive index of a liquid—the extent to which light is bent as it passes through the sample. This measurement is used to determine the concentration of solutes, like sugar, in a solution. It's a widely trusted method for quality control, sample identification, and purity assessment across various industries, from food and beverage production to chemical and industrial applications.
Built for Durability and Precision Constructed for longevity, Sper Scientific refractometers deliver reliable, precise, and consistent optical performance. With proper care, this instrument will provide accurate readings for years to come.
