Out of Stock

This handheld refractometer provides precise measurement of sugar content (Brix) from 0 to 40% with 0.1% resolution, featuring automatic temperature compensation (ATC) from 10°C to 30°C. It is a manual optical instrument designed for field and lab analysis of aqueous solutions, including wort and ethanol concentration.

Features

  • 0-40% Brix range with 0.1% scale division for precise sugar content measurement.
  • Built-in Automatic Temperature Compensation (ATC) from 10°C to 30°C (50°F to 86°F).
  • Dual-scale display showing Brix percentage and specific gravity (SG).
  • Sturdy, lightweight aluminum body with a rubber grip for comfortable handling.
  • Includes protective plastic carrying case, pipette, and calibration screwdriver.

Description

The handheld refractometer operates on the principle of light refraction through a liquid sample to determine its concentration of dissolved solids, primarily sucrose. Users place a few drops of the sample on the main prism, close the daylight plate, and view the scale through the eyepiece. The boundary line between light and dark fields indicates the Brix value directly.

Engineered for durability and field use, the instrument features a metal housing and an adjustable focus eyepiece. The integrated ATC system compensates for ambient temperature variations within its specified range, ensuring reliable readings without manual correction. It is a fundamental tool for quality control in food & beverage, agriculture, and home-brewing applications.

Key Features

  • High-precision optical system for accurate Brix and specific gravity measurement.
  • Automatic Temperature Compensation (ATC) built-in for stable readings from 10°C to 30°C.
  • Durable aluminum alloy construction with a non-slip rubber grip.
  • Clear, dual-scale display (Brix % and Specific Gravity) for versatile use.
  • Focus-adjustable eyepiece with soft rubber guard for user comfort.
  • Simple calibration process using distilled water and the included mini screwdriver.
  • Compact and portable design, complete with a protective carrying case.

Applications

  • Measuring sugar content (Brix) in fruit juices, grapes, and other agricultural products.
  • Monitoring wort density and sugar concentration in home brewing and beer production.
  • Quality control testing for syrup, honey, and jam in food processing.
  • Field analysis of ethanol concentration in fermented beverages.
  • General-purpose concentration measurement of aqueous solutions in labs and educational settings.

Frequently Asked Questions

How do I calibrate this refractometer?

Calibrate using distilled water. Place a few drops on the prism, close the daylight plate, and look through the eyepiece. Use the included mini screwdriver to adjust the calibration screw until the boundary line aligns with the 0% mark on the Brix scale. Perform calibration at a stable temperature within the ATC range for best accuracy.

What is the purpose of the Automatic Temperature Compensation (ATC)?

The built-in ATC system automatically corrects for the effect of ambient temperature on the refractive index of your sample, within the range of 10°C to 30°C (50°F to 86°F). This eliminates the need for manual temperature correction tables or charts, providing direct and reliable readings under varying field conditions.

Can this device measure anything other than sugar content?

Yes. While primarily scaled for Brix (sugar), the refractometer also displays specific gravity and has a secondary scale for estimating ethanol concentration from 0 to 25%. It is suitable for measuring the concentration of any dissolved solids in an aqueous solution that affects its refractive index, such as salts or soluble proteins.

What is included in the package?

The package includes the refractometer unit itself, a pipette for applying liquid samples, a mini screwdriver for calibration adjustments, and a sturdy plastic protective carrying case for storage and transport. All necessary tools for immediate use are provided.
