Description
The most popular range of sugar refractometers due to their usefulness in a wide variety of quality control applications for the sugar content of fruits, fruit juices, wine, milk, soft drinks and yeast culture solutions.
Place one or two drops of a sample on the prism and read the results. Sper Scientific portable refractometers operate in ambient light without the need for a battery or other power source.
Brix refractometers, which are also called sugar refractometers, are commonly used in the food and beverage, agriculture, and wine industries. Fruit growers will use a refractometer to check the sugar content of the fruit on the vine and determine the best time for harvest. Similarly, grocers and other fruit buyers will use brix values to determine how much they are willing to spend. It is this latter application that this portable sugar-brix refractometer from Sper Scientific is an ideal measuring instrument for the food and beverage industry.

A refractometer measures the extent to which light bends (refracts) through a liquid sample. They are commonly used to help identify or confirm the identity of a sample, assess the purity of a sample, or determine the concentration of a solute in a solution. They can be used in laboratories, on production lines, in the field, or anywhere. With reasonable care, its reliability, accuracy, and optical performance will last forever.
