PORTABLE REFRACTROMETER

A Refractometer is the instrument used to measure refractive index (RI). A refractometer measures the extent to which light is bent when it moves from air into a sample and is typically used to determine the refractive index of a liquid sample.

Refractometers are used in the laboratory and in many industries including agricultural, food, chemical, and manufacturing industries.

In the lab, refractometers measure the composition of samples from many industries. Some refractometers are designed for challenging samples and provide highly precise measurements.

In the food industry, refractometers have many uses including measuring sugar and salt. In winemaking, Brix refractometers can check the sugar content of the grape juice. Sugar can be measured in a jelly and jam, milk, fruit juice, and other types of beverages. Salt content can be measured in brines, cheese, or even in bakery items.

PORTABLE REFRACTROMETER

In agriculture, beekeepers use refractometers to check the moisture in honey. Refractometers can also measure the water content of milk or for determining concentration of soy milk.

Refractometers can also measure chemical concentrations, validate mixtures and determine the purity of materials.

In manufacturing, inline process refractometers provide composition of substances, control dilution, and check for the purity of a substance.
