Digital refractometers produce their own beam of light from an LED, instead of using daylight or another outside source of light. Once the liquid is placed inside the receptacle, the light is beamed through the sample and the computer assigns the resulting refraction a numeric value based on the Brix scale.Apr 24, 2017
How do you calibrate a digital refractometer?
Digital refractometers should be calibrated by pressing the zero button with water in the well. * Refractometers are accurate ±0.2% when used under normal conditions.
How do you use a digital Brix refractometer?
This easy-to-use optical Brix refractometer doesn't require a power source. Place your sample on the prism, close the lid, hold it up to your eye, and read the results. It's that simple! This model is extremely popular due to its broad Brix range, which makes it suitable for a variety of quality control applications.Oct 6, 2020
What does a digital refractometer do?
Digital refractometers are used to measure a variety of substances, from the concentration of sugar in grape juice to the purity of solvents, and are widely employed in production and quality control applications in the food, chemicals and pharmaceutical industries.
Where is refractometer used?
A refractometer is a simple instrument used for measuring concentrations of aqueous solutions. It requires only a few drops of liquid, and is used throughout the food, agricultural, chemical, and manufacturing industries.Mar 5, 2020
