Item details
The VEE GEE Scientific Handheld Brix Refractometer features the largest, easiest-to-read scale available with clear, sharp figures, screen shading and incredible contrast. This significantly enhances overall precision, even when several different people use the refractometer. This brix refractometer also comes with a rubber grip on the body, which blocks the transmission of hand heat to eliminate temperature errors. The rugged construction of this handheld brix refractometer will provide years of reliable use. The optical glass prism is mounted in an all-metal housing which allows the sample and prism to reach temperature equilibrium quickly. The non-roll stand ensures that once this brix refractometer is placed on a table or bench top, it won't be prone to roll off the surface. Each comes with instruction manuals .
What is a refractometer used for?
Refractometers are used in the laboratory and in many industries including agricultural, food, chemical, and manufacturing industries.
In the lab, refractometers measure the composition of samples from many industries. Some refractometers are designed for challenging samples and provide highly precise measurements.
In the food industry, refractometers have many uses including measuring sugar and salt. In winemaking, Brix refractometers can check the sugar content of the grape juice. Sugar can be measured in a jelly and jam, milk, fruit juice, and other types of beverages. Salt content can be measured in brines, cheese, or even in bakery items.
In agriculture, beekeepers use refractometers to check the moisture in honey. Refractometers can also measure the water content of milk or for determining concentration of soy milk.
Refractometers can also measure chemical concentrations, validate mixtures and determine the purity of materials.
In manufacturing, inline process refractometers provide composition of substances, control dilution, and check for the purity of a substance.
What does a refractometer measure?
Using these values, you can determine the concentrations of solutions. For example, solutions have different refractive indexes depending on their concentration in water.
