Portable and Durable DesignEngineered with a robust aluminum alloy body and rubber grip, this hand refractometer is both lightweight and sturdy. Its compact and cylindrical shape (170mm x 40mm x 40mm) makes it effortless to transport, while the supplied protective case ensures safe handling and storage. Whether in the laboratory or field, its build quality withstands daily use and rough environments.
Immediate and Accurate Brix MeasurementEquipped with an optical glass prism and direct analog scale viewed through an adjustable eyepiece, this refractometer delivers fast results with a high degree of accuracy-up to 0.2% Brix. Users can easily calibrate the device with distilled water or calibration solutions. The process requires only a tiny sample, making measurement swift and convenient.
Effortless Operation Without PowerThis manual hand refractometer requires no batteries or external power source, eliminating operational constraints in remote settings. Designed for simplicity and ease, it features manual focus adjustment and a straightforward cleaning process, allowing users to maintain optimal precision with minimal effort. Some models offer Automatic Temperature Compensation (ATC), further ensuring accuracy across varying temperatures.
FAQ's of hand refractometer:
Q: How do I correctly use the hand refractometer to measure Brix levels in a liquid?
A: To measure Brix, place 2-3 drops of your liquid sample onto the cleaned prism, close the daylight plate, and look through the eyepiece. Adjust the eyepiece for a clear view and read the value on the direct analog scale. For best results, ensure the prism is clean and calibrate the instrument if necessary.
Q: What is the recommended process for calibrating this hand refractometer?
A: Calibrate the refractometer by placing a drop of distilled water or a calibration solution onto the prism. Adjust the calibration screw until the scale reads zero or matches the solution concentration. Regular calibration ensures measurement accuracy, especially when used in different environments.
Q: When should the prism be cleaned, and what are the proper cleaning steps?
A: The prism should be cleaned immediately after each use. Gently wipe the prism surface with a soft, lint-free cloth to prevent residue buildup and scratches. Avoid harsh chemicals; distilled water or a mild cleaning solution is sufficient for routine maintenance.
Q: Where can the hand refractometer be used effectively?
A: This instrument is suitable for laboratory and field environments. Its durable construction and manual operation make it ideal for use in agriculture, food processing, beverage production, research facilities, and on-site quality control where electrical power may not be available.
Q: What are the main benefits of using a hand refractometer with ATC (Automatic Temperature Compensation)?
A: Models equipped with ATC automatically correct for temperature variations during measurement, ensuring reliable and precise Brix results regardless of weather or ambient conditions. This feature is especially valuable when testing in fluctuating environments or outdoors.
Q: How much sample volume is needed for each test, and how fast are the results?
A: Each measurement requires only 2-3 drops of the liquid sample. Readings are available immediately after applying the sample and viewing through the eyepiece, ensuring fast and efficient operation during multiple tests.
Q: What materials are used in the construction of the hand refractometer, and how do they contribute to its performance?
A: The refractometer is made from aluminum alloy, a rubber grip, and an optical glass prism. These materials provide a balance of durability, light weight, non-slip handling, and optical precision, contributing to the instrument's accuracy and longevity.
