Hanna Instruments Handheld Sugar Refractometers

from $199.00

HANNA offers four Sugar refractometers to meet the requirements of the food industry. The HI 96801 Sucrose, HI 96802 Fructose, HI 96803 Glucose and HI 96804 Invert Sugar Digital Refractometers are rugged, portable and water resistant for measurements in the lab or field. Each instrument offers a specific analysis to determine accurate sugar concentration.

These optical instruments employ the measurement of the refractive index to determine parameters pertinent for sugar concentration analysis. The actual measurement of refractive index is simple and quick and provides the operator a standard accepted method for sugar content analysis. Samples are measured after a simple user calibration with deionized or distilled water. Within seconds these instruments measure the refractive index of the sample and convert it to percent by weight concentration units (or %Brix for HI 96801). These digital refractometers eliminate the uncertainty associated with mechanical refractometers and are easily portable for measurements in the field.

These four instruments utilize internationally recognized references for unit conversion and temperature compensation and employ methodology recommended in the ICUMSA Methods Book (internationally recognized body for sugar analysis).

Handheld Refractometer

Refractometers may also be used to determine the purity of a substance from it's refractive index. Refractometers are used for measuring fluid concentrations such as sugar content - Brix level - of juices and fruits. Also useful for determining urine specific gravity, blood levels of proteins, salinity and carbonated beverages.

Strict quality assurance from The Lab Depot for Handheld Refractometers and more than 750,000 pieces of lab equipment means that you will always have confidence in your research and development or quality control results. After all, your laboratory testing procedures should always include using only the very best. Always look to The Lab Depot for value and quality lab equipment.
