ABBE Refractometer
Product Code : JA-MI-4877
The ABBE Refractometer (SKU JA-MI-4877) measures the refractive index and mean dispersion of liquids, solids and powders, and reads sugar percentage directly. The instrument uses an Abbe double prism with a compensator, a telescope, a graduated sector and a reading magnifier on a radial arm with vernier. Its range runs from nD 1.300 to nD 1.700 with an accuracy of 0.0002, and a thermometer is fitted on the double prism. It is supplied by JaincoLab for chemistry, physics, food and pharmacy laboratories.
Specifications
The refractometer covers nD 1.300 to 1.700 in steps of 0.001 with an accuracy of 0.0002, and sugar from 0 to 95% in steps of one division with an accuracy of 0.5%; the double prism leaves a gap of about 0.1 mm for the sample.

Applications of the Abbe refractometer
An Abbe refractometer gives a quick refractive index reading from a few drops of sample, which makes it a standard instrument for identifying liquids and checking concentration.
- Measuring the refractive index of liquids in B.Sc and M.Sc physics and chemistry practicals
- Finding mean dispersion using the compensator
- Reading sugar percentage in food and sugar-solution tests
- Identity and purity checks of oils, solvents and syrups in pharmacy and quality control laboratories
