Salt Refractometer with ATC - 0 to 100 PPT, NIST-Traceable Certificate

Salt Refractometer with ATC - 0 to 100 PPT, NIST Certified

The Sper Scientific portable Salt Refractometer is an essential tool for accurately measuring salt content in various applications, including seawater, aquaculture breeding ponds, pickling brines, and more. Designed for portability and ease of use, this refractometer operates with ambient light, requiring no batteries or external power sources, making it perfect for fieldwork or laboratory use.

Key Features

• Automatic Temperature Compensation (ATC): Eliminates the need for manual temperature corrections, ensuring highly accurate readings in any environment.
• Dual Scale Measurements: Measures in parts per thousand (PPT) and specific gravity (SG), providing versatile usage across different applications.
• Wide Range of Applications: Though calibrated for sodium chloride, it can also measure other compounds such as calcium chloride, barium cobalt, magnesium, cesium, potassium, cupric sulfate, potassium iodide, citric acid, acetic acid (vinegar), and more, as long as tested against a known standard.
• Compact and Durable Design: Rubber-coated hand grip insulates the instrument from heat interference caused by the user’s body temperature, ensuring precision. Lightweight and portable, it is easy to use in the lab, on production floors, or in the field.
• Bright and Clear Scale: Features a covered eyepiece and a high-contrast, easy-to-read scale for quick and accurate readings.

What is a Refractometer?

A refractometer measures how light bends (refracts) when passing through a liquid sample. By doing so, it helps:

• Identify or confirm the identity of a sample.
• Assess the purity of a substance.
• Determine solute concentration in solutions quickly and accurately.

Simply place a drop or two of your sample on the prism, and the refractometer provides immediate results. With proper care, this device offers long-lasting reliability, precision, and optical performance.

Applications

• Aquaculture: Measure salt content in breeding ponds to maintain optimal water conditions.
• Food Processing: Test pickling brines, vinegar, and other food solutions for consistent quality.
• Research and Labs: Ensure the accuracy of salt and solute concentrations in experiments.
• Fieldwork: Portable and durable for testing on-site in remote locations.
