The digital refractometers are optical instruments that employ the measurement of refractive index to determine the % Brix of sugar.

The method is both simple and quick. Samples are measured after a simple user calibration with deionised or distilled water. Within seconds the instruments measure the refractive index of the sample and convert it to % Brix or % by weight concentration units.

The digital refractometers eliminate the uncertainty associated with mechanical refractometers and are easily portable for measurements in the field.

Thousands of food and beverage professionals and hobbyists, from chefs and food quality professionals to brewers and winemakers, have moved to digital BRIX measurement from less accurate and less precise optical refractometers.

The measurement technique and temperature compensation employ methodology recommended in the ICUMSA Methods Book (Internationally recognised body for Sugar Analysis). Temperature (in °C or °F) is displayed simultaneously with the measurement on the large dual level display along with icons for Low Power and other helpful message codes.

Key features include:

• Dual-level LCD
• Automatic Temperature Compensation (ATC)
• Easy setup and storage
• Battery operation with Low Power indicator (BEPS)
• Automatically turns off after 3 minutes of non-use

The measurement technique and temperature compensation employ methodology recommended in the ICUMSA Methods Book (Internationally recognised body for Sugar Analysis).
