Refractometer
Product Code : JA-MI-4929
The Refractometer (SKU JA-MI-4929) is a digital Brix refractometer for measuring the sugar content of solutions from 0 to 85% Brix, with a resolution of 0.1% Brix and an accuracy of 0.2% Brix. It also reads sample temperature from 0 to 80°C and applies automatic temperature compensation between 10 and 40°C. A reading takes about 1.5 seconds from a sample of 100 microlitres placed on the stainless steel ring and flint glass prism. It is supplied by JaincoLab for food, beverage, agriculture and quality control laboratories.

Applications of the digital Brix refractometer
A digital Brix refractometer gives a fast, objective sugar reading from a few drops of sample, which is why it is used for mixing ratios, quality control and purity checks.
- Sugar content of fruit juices, syrups and beverages in food technology laboratories
- Mixing-ratio and concentration checks in quality control
- Ripeness testing of fruit in agriculture and horticulture practicals
- Refractometry exercises in college chemistry and food science courses
