Sugar/Brix Refractometer 0-32% with Automatic Temperature Compensation (ATC)
This versatile handheld refractometer is engineered for precision and ease of use across a wide range of applications. Featuring Automatic Temperature Compensation (ATC), it automatically adjusts for ambient temperature changes, eliminating the need for manual calculations and ensuring accurate readings every time.
Key Applications: With a measurement range of 0-32% Brix, this model is exceptionally popular for quality control in various industries:
- Food & Beverage: Quickly determine the sugar content of fruits, vegetable juices, maple sap, wine, beer wort, milk, and soft drinks. Essential for monitoring crop ripeness, ensuring product consistency, and controlling fermentation processes.
- Industrial: Ideal for measuring the concentration of industrial fluids, including cutting oils, lubricating oils, soluble tempering oils, and emulsification solutions. Helps maintain optimal performance and extend the life of machinery.
How It Works: A refractometer operates by measuring how light bends, or refracts, as it passes through a liquid sample. This measurement, known as the Refractive Index, directly correlates to the concentration of dissolved solids—in this case, sugar (Brix). Operation is simple: place a drop or two of your sample onto the prism, close the cover, and look through the eyepiece to read the result on the clearly marked scale. No batteries or external power sources are needed, making it perfect for use in the lab, on the factory floor, or out in the field.
Built for Durability and Precision: All Sper Scientific refractometers are designed for long-lasting, reliable performance.
- Superior Construction: A rubber-coated hand grip provides a secure hold and insulates the prism from the user's body heat, preventing inaccurate readings.
- Clear & Bright Optics: The covered eyepiece and high-contrast scale ensure large, easy-to-read measurements even in low-light conditions.
- Complete Kit: Your refractometer arrives ready for immediate use with all necessary accessories, including a calibration screwdriver, calibration solution, transfer pipettes, a user manual, and a durable protective case.
With proper care, the optical performance and precision of this instrument will last a lifetime.
