Digital Refractometer for Refractive Index and Brix

Refractive Index is measured to determine a liquid's composition and assess its concentration and density. It is used by many industries including pharmaceutical, food and environmental, as an important indicator of quality and consistency.

Hanna Instruments new Digital Refractometer combines form and function into one compact unit. Featuring a 1.5 second response time, the meter measures refractive index from 1.3330 to 1.5040 with temperature compensation (nD20) and from 1.3300 to 1.5080 without temperature compensation (nD). For added versatility, the refractometer also converts the refractive index to % Brix (0-85%). One-button calibration makes setup quick and easy.

The improved easy-to-read LCD screen displays temperature units (°C or °F) and measurements simultaneously. By pressing the 'Range' key, users can easily switch between refractive index (nD), refractive index (nD20) and % Brix readings while in measurement mode. The unit's IP65 water-resistant casing and sealed sample well is built to perform under harsh conditions, making it suitable for use in the field or in the laboratory.

• 1.3300-1.5080 Refractive Index range with +/- 0.0005 accuracy
• 0-85% Brix range with +/- 0.2% accuracy
• Sample size as small as 2 metric drops (100 μl)
• Simple one-button calibration
• Automatic Temperature Compensation (ATC) and No Temperature Compensation Settings (NoTC)
