Product Description
Features:-The refractive index of a solution containing sugar is in proportion to its sugar concentration. The model 500 uses this principle, where a transmitting system is applied, to obtain a high contrast in the field of view.

FAQ's of Hand-Held Refractometer:
Q: How do I use the hand-held refractometer to measure Brix or liquid concentration?
A: To use the refractometer, place 2-3 drops of your liquid sample on the optical glass prism, close the cover plate, and look through the eyepiece while pointing the instrument toward a light source. The Brix or concentration is displayed on the analog scale.
Q: What is the process for calibrating this refractometer?
A: Calibration is straightforward-simply place a few drops of distilled water on the prism, adjust the calibration screw until the scale reads zero, and you are ready for accurate measurements.
Q: When should the refractometer be calibrated for optimal accuracy?
A: It is best to calibrate the refractometer before each measurement session or whenever you notice discrepancies in your readings, especially after temperature variation or extended storage.
Q: Where can this refractometer be used?
A: This portable device is suitable for laboratories, food and beverage production, agriculture, wineries, research institutions, and field applications thanks to its lightweight design and robust case.
Q: What are the benefits of automatic temperature compensation (ATC) in this device?
A: ATC ensures your readings remain consistent and accurate across varying ambient temperatures (10-30C), eliminating the need for manual correction and improving reliability.
Q: How does the eyepiece adjustment enhance user experience?
A: The eyepiece can be adjusted for individual focus, allowing clear and precise scale readings regardless of the user's eyesight or lighting conditions.
Q: What materials make up this refractometer, and how does that affect durability?
A: Constructed from PVC, metal, and optical glass, this refractometer is sturdy yet lightweight, offering both durability and ease of handling for extended use.
